55. I Was Adopted At 26 - With Adoptee Annie Marek Barta

Have you ever thought about adopting an older child? How old is too old to be adopted? The answer might surprise you and our guest will challenge you.   Annie endured a difficult childhood and didn't enter foster care until age 17. This left her with little hope of having a stable family to visit on weekends in college, or holidays, or anytime she just needed it. But against all odds, Annie was adopted at the age of 26! This podcast will open your eyes to the realities of life for teenagers in the foster care system, and it will show you that there is no age limit for needing the love of a family.
