Fostering understanding

Re “Teens Speak Out About Foster Care,” June 6

Thanks for bringing much-needed attention to the dysfunctional foster-care system and its effects on the children in it. Unlike homelessness, which we all see, foster kids are invisible even to most well-informed people. It should be mandatory for every opponent of abortion rights to spend a day in dependency court to observe the endless parade of unwanted children.
