Children often come into foster care with nothing but the clothes on their backs. They may be removed from their homes in the middle of extremely traumatic circumstances, leaving them no time to prepare or grab anything.
After that, they sometimes wait hours in state foster care offices while caseworkers search for available foster homes. This means that there are times when they have to sleep on office floors. Even worse, some of these children are separated, not only from their parents, but also from their siblings as many foster homes are not prepared or equipped to take in multiple children.
