This incredible episode is about a young couple who fostered and eventually adopted a boy who was a student in Jennifer’s kindergarten classroom. He was in seven foster homes in five years (some were shelters). Jennifer and her husband became foster parents in their first year of marriage. This young boy had been abused sexually and physically and neglected and had his first suicide attempt at eight years of age, and has a diagnosis of Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome (PTSD). Jennifer and her husband have worked non-stop to get their son the help and services their son needs, and Jennifer has compiled an incredible database of resources.
