FIND YOUR FOREVER FAMILY THROUGH FOSTER CARE ADOPTION
AS SEEN ON
Start Your Family’s Adoption Journey With Confidence
I’m on a mission to empower and equip individuals and couples to take the path of Adoption through Foster Care. What’s holding you back, whether it’s fear, or simply not knowing which step to take next - is exactly why I’ve created the resources you will find throughout this site. I’m Marcy Bursac, adoptive mom of siblings and creator of The Forgotten Adoption Option, and now your guide and mentor for the journey ahead.
“Through free coaching, Marcy has helped adults who felt overwhelmed, scared, and confused take action. Marcy has shown them how to address their own wounds, get on the same page as their significant other, and encourage them to keep going even when their social worker changes, their licensing agency loses all their paperwork, or they weren’t selected for a sibling group or individual child yet another time.”

When a child is stuck in foster care because they cannot return to their biological family, the odds are against them. It is such an unknown issue that 23,000 children age out of the foster care system every year. 20% become homeless the day they age out. Only 50% of children who age out have some sort of gainful employment by age 24. 1 in 5 are incarcerated between ages 17 and 21.

Did you know?
