Alabamians have proven their resilience throughout the past year. As our state took precautions to reduce the spread of the coronavirus, we adjusted to changed surroundings, coped with being separated from loved ones and faced growing uncertainty about the future.
Sadly, these hardships are nothing new for 423,000 children in foster care across the country. For many of them — including over 6,000 in Alabama — those same challenges will remain even as other residents of our state and country regain a sense of normalcy.
