For American foster care alumnus, Adrian McLemore, instead of more children going into the foster care system, it would be better if more went into kinship care.

Adrian's perspective comes from having been in foster care, and of providing care for his niece and nephew.

He talks poignantly of what it was like being taken from his family - he felt like he'd been kidnapped - and driven to a new 'home' with people he didn't know. The couple turned out to be terrific foster parents, but he still thinks kinship care is preferable.
