If you do not use your voice, you lose your voice. Thank you for agreeing to take this survey. By doing so you are helping better the foster care system for our brothers and sisters who will come behind us. I hope that you know that your expertise in Georgias fostercare system could never be duplicated, which is why your thoughts and opinions are so important.
