In part 1 of Tony’s brave story he recounts entering the foster care system at a very young age due to neglect by his mother. Tony bounced around between 18 different foster homes before being adopted with his siblings at the age of 6. Tony, however, could not escape the abuse which continued during the term of his adoption. Prior to being emancipated at the age of 17, Tony was returned to the foster care system and continued to jump between placements. Tony shares how his relationship with God grew into what fueled his ability to release the anguish of his past and choose forgiveness in his life moving forward. Stay tuned for part 2 to hear the conclusion of Tony’s courageous story. If you are a former foster child who aged out of the system and want to share your story, email us at [email protected]!
