Across the country, far too many young people age out of foster care into appalling circumstances. “Aging out” occurs when youth under the state’s custody are still in the foster care system when they reach either the age of majority or the end of extended foster care. Aging out refers to the moment in time when child welfare is no longer legally responsible for the youth, and the system abruptly stops providing services–usually when the youth turns either 18 or 21. Each year, thousands of youth age out of foster care, essentially legal orphans with no legal connection to family or a supportive network. Unfortunately, foster youth who go through the experience of aging out of foster care have statistically poor life prospects. Longitudinal studies across the country show very high rates of homelessness, incarceration, unemployment, and lack of access to health care among youth who aged out of foster care. These outcomes are disproportionately worse for Black, Native, and Brown youth, as well as queer and trans youth. This study is designed to understand the experiences of transition-age youth in their transition out of foster care and investigate: Why do poor outcomes for youth who age out of care persist? What are the current lived experiences of youth who age out of care? In what ways does child welfare continue to fall short for youth who age out of care?

Naia lives in a world where people are “aged out” at age seventy, and Naia has just turned sixty-nine! Aged Out is a dystopian thriller with social, religious, and modern political overtones. In Naia Gold’s world, no one wants for any material needs; the ruling class government provides all necessities for everyone. But individual sacrifices must be made for society’s betterment. The evolution of this ideology gave rise to the long-accepted mandate of eliminating citizens at age seventy, thereby efficiently dealing with the costly realities of aging. Naia has just turned sixty-nine, and she’s desperate to find a way to stay alive! Her society requires her to be aged out one month after she turns seventy! Will she comply like so many others? Or will she battle for survival in a world whose primary ethical value is forced compliance in order to implement total equality? Naia encounters a myriad of characters as she goes through her journey to survive being aged out. Some want to help her; others have their own agendas that conflict with Naia’s goals. Ultimately, Naia pursues and achieves an outcome that might be real or the product of a fevered mind, but when death comes, the reader must decide if Naia has been quietly aged out or has died a hero’s death that changes the world! Aged Out combines the sociopolitical issues of Atlas Shrugged and 1984 with the suspense of Brave New World and Logan’s Run, the mania of A Clockwork Orange and the science fiction creativity of Star Trek. The reader will be constantly caught off guard throughout!

Owning and operating a nonprofit, group home for teenage girls has given Dr. Lanetta N. Greer a keen understanding of the challenges that they face. Home 4 the Heart, her facility, has helped almost two hundred girls over ten years. But assisting, supporting, and advocating for the girls that live at its three facilities has required lots of creativity. While Child Protective Services wants children to do well, the youth that they place in out-of-home care often have negative life outcomes. The lack of daily intimate contact with a caregiver causes somewhat of a constant disconnect—and normal daily relationships and activities with supportive caregivers are not always possible for youth in out-of-home care. In this qualitative study of young women who aged out of out-of-home care, the author describes family life, growing up in out-of-home care, and life after aging out. The results of the study will better inform service providers working with youth in foster/group homes, schools, juvenile justice placements, and community programs. The study’s findings and insights offer more effective ways of assisting, supporting, and advocating for youth to ensure a more successful transition to independence after aging out.

Each year, as many as 25,000 teenagers "age out" of foster care, usually when they turn eighteen. For years, a government agency had made every important decision for them. Suddenly, they are on their own, with no one to count on. What does it mean to be eighteen and on your own, without the family support and personal connections that most young people rely on? For many youth raised in foster care, it means largely unhappy endings, including sudden homelessness, unemployment, dead-end jobs, loneliness, and despair. On Their Own tells the compelling stories of ten young people whose lives are full of promise, but who face economic and social barriers stemming from the disruptions of foster care. This book calls for action to provide youth in foster care the same opportunities on the road to adulthood that most of our youth take for granted-access to higher education, vocational training, medical care, housing, and relationships within their communities. On Their Own is meant to serve as a clarion call not only to policymakers, but to all Americans who care about the futures of our young people.
