David, 18 years old, VA

David and his three younger siblings were recently removed from their home and placed in separate foster homes. Previously, David had been the primary caregiver for his siblings, so he was extremely upset about their separation. However, David has come to terms with the circumstances that led to their placement in foster care. He has not allowed the upheaval in his life to deter him from his goal of graduating. Although he worries about his siblings, he understands that they are all safe and no longer homeless.
