One woman is using social media to advocate for being a foster parent to teenagers.
Woman uses social media to educate on fostering teens so it's not a 'hidden thing'
Brittany Burcham, 35, from Birmingham, Alabama, has a TikTok account with over 800,000 followers where she answers questions about fostering teenagers and gives advice. Brittany Burcham, 35, from Birmingham, Alabama, became a certified emergency foster parent in October 2019, and has fostered around 50 kids since then. Though she's licensed to foster up to age 21, most kids she takes care of are 10 to 17. It was one of her teen fosters that pushed her to create her TikTok account,"She said to me, 'Miss Britney, there's a lot of foster parents on TikTok, but they're all talking about little kids.
Before she became a foster parent, Burcham was a court-appointed special advocate for three years in the Washington, D.C., area. CASAs are volunteers who get assigned a child in foster care and then advocate for that child and their best interests in court. "You get to know the child, you get to know their family and their life," she said."Then when it's time to go to court, you submit a report that makes recommendations for that child."
