The opioid epidemic continues to affect families across Pennsylvania.
Paris lost both of her parents to complications from their drug use.
Following their deaths, she became one of the over 437,000 American children in foster care.
The Program Director at The Bair Foundation, a foster care agency in York, says those agencies do not have enough foster families for teenagers, like Paris. She says fostering teens can be challenging but also rewarding and she hopes more families will come forward to meet the need.
