This guide was created for you: a young woman who is pregnant and/or parenting while in foster care, and most likely you’ve already made the decision to raise your child yourself. If you haven’t read the printed handbook on your custody and placement rights with regard to your baby, you can read it here. If you have read the handbook and want specific information for your state, select your state from the list below.
This guide was made possible in part by a grant from the Annie E. Casey Foundation.
