Too often, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgendered and Questioning (LGBT/Q) youth in foster/adoptive care experience rejection, from their families, from their peers, from society. The results are among the highest rates of social problems, most alarmingly, teen suicide. Our non-profit organization, A Thousand Moms, believes it's time to celebrate and support the lives of New York State's youth in foster care who may be LGBT/Q. A project of the National Association of Former Foster Children, A Thousand Moms, with the help of private citizens from all walks of life in New York's communities--our "Moms"-- believes it's time to greatly reduce government costs for LGBT/Q youth in foster care by minimizing the use of group homes and maximizing placement with foster/adoptive families. We want to ensure that these youth begin productive, positive lives. Our programs include education and training for current and prospective parents, community awareness initiatives, recruiting and training of foster/adoptive parents, and social, non-monetary support for gay youth in foster/adoptive care.
