Feature Articles We have prepared a four-part feature article series that will take your readers inside the foster care system; introduce them to the people--social workers, foster parents, and adoptive parents--who are at the heart of the system; and introduce them to some of the children and young people in foster care. Please feel free to use any or all of these articles, which follow children in DCF custody from the initial investigation of a report of child abuse or neglect through to foster care and then to adoption.
