On the way home from work today I heard Radio Rookies: ‘Aging Out’ of Foster Care on NPR. Its a twelve minute story of a young girl who was placed into foster care after her father murdered her mother.

To hear this girl talk about why she wants to have a baby (to have a family) was pretty troubling and contrary to the thinking that I am surrounded by on a daily basis. And that’s why I love NPR – it takes me to places I’ve never been.
