Silent Warriors
May 3, 2009
We all have our battles to fight. Some are private, some are public and some are too painful to discuss. This website, this cause is about the more than 12 million adults living in America who have spent time in the foster care system. You may not recognize us, raised to keep silent, you might not realize we are here. We are your neighbor, your boss, your wife, husband, the person who delivers your mail, your child’s soccer coach, your child’s teacher, we are silently walking among you. For more than 2 years, I have monitored all things (online blogs and news feeds) relating to foster care; the system, the children, and the failures. Today, this site, aims to feature these amazing survivors, who I have come to call silent warriors. They talk with me, share with me and open their hearts to me. I am grateful, and I am humbled. These warriors, over 12 million of them out there in America are truly inspirational. Please continue to follow this site and be inspired by reading their stories!

Got something to say?
The Silent warrior who goes forth into the battle of their own understanding may look around and discover that there are those who are following her through that unknown smoke and into whatever that may come. Without wavering and without flinching those who follow your lead will over take and over come the enemy so that you can take the battle field in victory. By your permission I will remain one step behind and to your left until such a day you find one to replace me.

By my permission John, I ask you to walk beside me, not behind and to the left!
