Many states have extended the age when foster kids are forced to leave from 18 to 21. Florida recently made a similar change, but both the state foster care agency as well as foster youth are identifying areas of concern.
Another way that foster kids can be helped is by foster care agencies working to locate relatives of these children so they have family support when they are forced out (age out) of foster care.
Extending the age to 21 is a positive move to help more foster kids be prepared for adult life even if the process isn't always smooth.
