I'm so moved by Andrew's story and the matter of fact and true way he describes his experiences. I realize the story is largely about foster care, but you also might be interested in an effort by a coalition of NY agencies--the NY Initiative for Children of Incarcerated Parents led by the Osborne Association. This effort is seeking to develop a Children of Incarcerated Parents Bill of Rights and is partially led by a youth advisory made up of children of incarcerated parents.
Congratulations on all that you've accomplished.
