Dear Listeners and Supporters,

    Thank you for taking the time to read my page. Whether you are simply in the curious stage or want to help, you are doing something to help our cause. Even just a click on our webpage helps to bring our rating up for search engines, thereby getting the word out to more people. So thank you!

    Considering that this site has only been up for a couple of days, I hope you will understand that it is not entirely done. I have been working diligently on this site, but it will take a few months for me to be done with the basics. The only way for me to be done changing this website for good is for all of the problems to go away and for children to stop being hurt while in custody or ignored by Child Services personnel when they need help. Unfortunately, it looks like I will be working on this site for a while.

     I am dedicated to placing the story of each and every foster child killed in foster care or killed at home after Child Services found their parents "fit". Due to the sheer amount of children there are that fit that description and the time it will take to research them all, please tell me of all cases you know of. I do know of Kelsey Briggs and Marcus Fiesel. Thank you in advance.

    I know that if we all band together to get our stories out, and share the stories of those who have lost their voices, we can make a difference. As individuals, we may not have a lot of impact, but as a team we make up probably about 75% of the population, when you count those in foster care as well as those alumni/survivors. Include the stories of the Angels who cannot speak for themselves, and we will have the greatest impact in the fight for change.

    Yes, I know that there are hundreds of websites out there that are fighting for this cause. I know that several of them are very beautiful. I have visited some of them myself. I don't wish to upset these people with my suggestions. I apologize in advance if I have done so.

    But there are websites that ask for "subscriptions" or "memberships", which exclude most of the people who want to help, but can't due to money issues. There are smaller websites which focus only on their own stories. Not to minimize their stories-they are important in this fight. But that only makes up a small portion of what we are fighting with. There are also those sites that, unfortunately, never are found because they are very low on the search sites' lists.

    My goal is to have ONE major unified website that can hold ALL of the information. I want it to become the top site on the search engine, so that EVERYONE can find ALL there is to find about foster care. The stories, the pictures, the videos. I want to include EVERYONE'S stories. I will be asking for former and current foster children to email me your stories. Of course, for your own protection, any current foster children or any adult who requests it will have names and cities kept private. Please wait until I am set up to handle that, though. At the moment I am busy trying to set up the websites.

    I also want Changing The Foster Care System United to become the ONE major foster care reform group, so that we can present a UNITED front. If we need to, we can open up chapters in each state and city, but we MUST present one COMMON name and face when we bring our fight to those in charge. We will be dismissed if we are few but as MANY they cannot turn us away. We are paying taxes to pay their salary and we are paying taxes to care for these children so when we become UNITED we WILL succeed in CHANGING Foster Care FOREVER!

Sincerely,

Janettee McCrary
