Braedon was placed in foster care at a young age and experienced abuse and neglect and separation from family until he was adopted at 19 months.
He now works as an advocate for foster care and adoption reform and shares his story as a testimony to the excuse that “foster kids are better off dead than stuck in the system.”
He has been blessed incredibly this year to have reunited with his biological family before his biological parents passed.
