To The End Of June

"Over five years, Cris Beam follows 22 foster children as they search for the holy grail: adoption into a stable, loving home. But as the kids and the foster parents can attest, it takes more than good intentions to make a family. A loving couple officially adopt their foster daughter only for her to run away, scared off when she realizes even adoption can’t heal the wounds of a 21-home childhood. Beam, a foster parent herself, delivers an engaging, narrative-driven investigation that centers on one of the system’s most divisive questions: Does separating children from their birth parents do more harm than good?"
