Mayor Oberndorf introduced the Fist Lady of Virginia, Anne Holton, wife of Governor Kaine. The need for change in Virginia re Foster Care was initiated by First Lady Anne Holton, and her "For Keeps Initiative". The FOR KEEPS INITIATIVE focuses on the need for communities to help foster care children who are growing out of the system. Her work has been recognized with the "Families for Life Award" in May 2008. Anne Holton graduated from Princeton University, Magna Cum Laude, with a Degree in Economics. She graduated from Harvard Law School Cum Laude, assuming her law degree in 1983.

Dr. Terry Jenkins, President, will provide information re the "Together We Can" Foundation. Anne Holton advised approximately one-half of the children in Foster Care are teenagers. She worked with her State Director of Social Services focusing on this issue of older children to be more successful in connecting with permanentfamilies. Anne Holton referenced children age of twelve (12), and older achieve permanency nationally at 72%, and in Virginia at 44% National Research: Foster Youth Who Age Out .

Virginia is substantially over utilizing Congregate Care (Group Homes and Residential Treatment facilities). This is one of the most expensive forms of "care". These facilities often cost $60,000 to $70,000 a year for essential treatment facilities. Foster Care families only receive approximately $440 a month.

In 2003, 44% of teens achieved permanence, a 28% gap from the national average of 72. % . After 7 years, 24% of young children entering Care in 2000 had not achieved permanence. These children potentially will "age in" to teens who have an even greater chance of not achieving permanence . The use of regular Foster Care for teens has decreasedfrom 41% in 2000 to 23% in 2006, while usage of formal kin placements has declined to almost nothing .
