An Ancestry DNA Kit for Amber who is curious about her families history

Posted Aug 27, 2019
More often then not when a child enters foster care one of two things happens, either they have no idea where their family comes from, or they are told the wrong information. Amber would love the opportunity to learn more about her families history!

Amber is 35 years old and lives in MD

From Amber: "I am a mom of 3 boys, and I work in child welfare. My biggest dream is to become a counselor for children who have experienced trauma. I am currently pursuing my master's degree in social work as part of making that dream a reality. I experienced foster care in my teens, and ultimately ended up in the custody of a relative, as my parents were unable to care for my sisters and me. As an adult, I work hard everyday to give a purpose to my experience through serving the foster care population in my area, and also by being the best mom I can be. I love staying active and spending time with my sisters. I'm not sure I would be where I am today without their love and support. Helping others is my passion, and I hope to spend the rest of my career in a role that allows me to do that every single day."
