From Foster Care to Foster Mom

The Jaleesa Graham Story

Less than ten years ago, Jaleesa Graham was six months pregnant, living in her car and showering at bus stops. She had been removed from her parents when she was 17, but chose not to be placed with foster parents like her younger sisters. Jaleesa's sister spoke highly about her own foster mom, which made Jaleesa wonder, "What is a foster mom?" That nagging question stayed with her until she ended up as a foster mom herself.
