Siblings Mark and Lexy spent four years in foster care, but that all changed when they came to stay with Tom and Debra Crittenden. Now, the Georgia family has been together for two years.“The stars were aligned for us to adopt Mark and Lexy. They were literally the only kids we ever fostered; the only kids we ever met in the process," Tom Crittenden said. "So, it kind of seemed like they’re our kids."However, an adoption story like this one is not very common. Most people want to adopt babies, and at the ages of 15 and 17, Mark and Lexy almost aged out of the foster care system.Kimberly Offutt is the National Foster Care Adoption Director with Bethany Christian Services. She says the doors to the foster care system close to children once they reach the age of 18 leaving them in a very vulnerable position.“More than 10 percent of the kids who age out of foster care haven’t even graduated from high school," Offutt said. "Within two to three years, those children could end up homeless, incarcerated, where another system is now raised in them. Seven out of 10 of the young women actually have children that end up back in the foster care system."According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the longer a child is in foster care, the less likely they are to leave it before turning 18. “Our teenagers recognize that the clock is literally ticking. Every birthday is not a celebration. It is another year that they recognize, ‘if I don’t find a forever family, what’s going to happen to me,’” Offutt said.Offutt says a majority of U.S. children in foster care are between the ages of eight and 14, and the number of children in foster care continues to rise. The only hope in changing that statistic comes from families willing to take a leap like the Crittendens.“It’s just such a shame because it’s such a hindrance for these kids who age out of the system and don’t have that support network. Not just to get them through high school and college or whatever, but for the rest of their life,” Tom Crittenden said.The Crittendens say they understand people’s hesitation to adopt a teenager, but they believe you can still have a large impact on their lives. “We’re not bad. People always stereotype us saying that we have trouble and that we’re bad and stuff and how we’re like disobedient, and that’s not the case," Lexy said. "It’s actually what our parents did. That’s why we’re in foster care. Most of us are in foster care for what our parents did. Not for what we did."Thankfully, Mark and Lexy were able to stay together in their adoptive family.“Without siblings, ya know, we couldn’t really have that much fun. Because your parents are older than you, so having a close sibling is good,” Mark said.They’ve been given a new start with a new family. Debra says she loves introducing the kids to new experiences they’ve never had before.“We’ve taken them on trips. We were with them the first time they ever got on an airplane. We took them over to see the Grand Canyon and Sedona and ended up in Vegas," Debra Crittenden said. "And then, we took them out of the country to see the Caribbean about a month ago. So that’s fun, watching them experience new things that they wouldn’t have had access to."Mark and Lexy say they’d like to see other foster kids have the same opportunity.“To find someone that actually cares for them. To let them know that they are loved,” Mark said.There are 125,000 foster kids still waiting to be adopted.“If not you, who? If not now, when?” Offutt said. 3532

Scammers are now finding victims through text message.The Better Business Bureau says tech scams still make up a fairly small number of all reported scams, but they are on the rise.The BBB says scammers are getting smarter and they're sending people texts that appear to come from their bank and they'll say they've found a fraudulent transaction on your account and ask if it was you.You'll likely say "no" because that transaction never happened. So then they'll ask you for your personal information to fix it. The BBB says don't be so quick to hand it over. "When someone reaches out to you — whether it's by phone, by text message, on social media or email — when someone reaches out to you, that's when you need to be especially cautious and not share personal information," says Katherine Hutt with the BBB.If you believe there may be a concern about your bank account, you should be the person issuing the call. The BBB says you can find your bank's phone number from the back of your card.Also, getting a gift card in the mail sounds great, but 1071
