Tina's story is one of community and being in the right places at the right time—or as Tina would say— miracles. After being removed from her mother's home at the age of 16, Tina was placed in a group home. The structure became too much for her and she ran away. For a period of time, she lived on the street, couch surfing with former schoolmates, and in a house where she feared she would be trafficked. She was able to escape and luckily ran into her boyfriend's sister who took her to their parent's house. There she was caught hiding in his closet by a man who showed her kindness and convinced her to return to foster care. Tina was placed with a kind family in a Christian community. It was here she created close bonds and a strong sense of self that propelled her to success. As an adult, Tina is learning to help others through their trauma by becoming a certified trauma recovery coach. She is now married and has two children. She wants to encourage people who experienced foster care that hope is real and it is never too late to ask for help. She hopes to see more programs for people transitioning out of foster care as people did out of the kindness of their hearts when she aged out. She hopes her story can be one that reminds others that everything happens for a reason and that you can be successful in life and love regardless of where you came from.

Bob's story is one of resilience and regaining control. Bob first came to America from Ukraine at the age of 5. He was adopted into a family who subjected him to horrible treatment, until finally at the age of 12 he entered the foster care system. Bob went from placement to placement until he was adopted by his third placement. However, after being adopted, the relationship between Bob and his adoptive family crumbled. For many years, Bob had hardly any sense of control over his own life. He was told where to go, how to act, and who he was as a person. He even found out that his birthday had been changed by his first adoptive family. His whole identity had been determined by the foster care system and those involved in it. As an adult, Bob is courageously embracing his past trauma and taking back the control of his life that the system took from him. He wants his story of overcoming adversity to inspire others who may be facing similar circumstances. He wants foster youth to know that they are not the “Property of Texas,” but are instead worthy, intelligent, brave individuals capable of succeeding and deserving of love. He wants youth in the foster care system and those who have aged out to know that it's never too late to take control of your story.

Before graduating with her associate degree, to now working with patients with dementia and suicidality, Candace was teenager navigating her life in the foster care system. Faced with the hardship and heartbreak of being left by her biological family, Candace found hope in the system after being placed with a foster family who showed her unconditional love, support, and the unbreakable bond of family. This went on to change her life and the outlook she had on the system. In the face of adversity, Candace found her voice in the world and used the obstacles she faced as fuel to become the person she needed when she was younger and the person she always aspired to be. Today, Candace stands as role model and advocate for those within the foster care system, demonstrating that sometimes the trials and tribulations do not happen to us, but for us. Tune in as we delve into Candace's inspiring journey – a testament to resilience, faith, and the power of finding your purpose in life.

Born to two non-citizens, Jai McClean decided to stay back in the United States so that she could complete her high school career to fulfill her lifelong goal to someday attend college—even if that meant entering the foster care system to get it done. “I don't know where these aspirations came from, but I just knew that they were there and I wanted to make that happen.” But Jai's upcoming graduation with a microbiology degree in June of 2023 did not come without hardship—follow along with the Aged Out podcast to listen in on her admittedly scary yet rewarding experience in the foster care system, through which her relationship with her biological mother and siblings transformed, her faith was strengthened, and her educational ambitions were achieved.

"The Bond" is a powerful memoir that chronicles the strength of the relationships formed among a collection of unrelated siblings who forged a remarkable, separate, and permanent family within a foster home. Kirkus.com calls it: "A poignant, infuriating, informative, and ultimately triumphant account of an unusual clan." BookLife.com wrote: "Grotticelli's unsparing honesty about his birth and foster families will make readers wince and keep them marveling at the indomitability of these children. That the foster siblings were able to forge familial bonds with each other is extraordinary." OnlineBookClub.com said: "This is a book about real people, real lives and real feelings. It is the story of their triumph over adversity and their struggle to find the kind of family love that many of us take for granted."
