I am Carol Lucas, the founder of F.A.C.T. I am a former foster child and due to my own emotional issues stemming from my foster care experience, I felt a need for a support group, but when I went in search for one, discovered there weren’t any, so decided to form one myself. One would suppose that with all the support groups available, there would be one for former foster children, especially since there are so many of us (currently about 500,000 in the U.S in the foster care system) and we have such strong issues, but somehow we have remained hidden.
