To raise awareness of National Foster Care Awareness Month, foster care advocate and adoptive mom Melanie Gilbert, created the #fostercarein5words Twitter campaign.

The goal was to start a conversation, hear the voices, and share the message of kids in foster care.

Hundreds of people joined the campaign, thousands retweeted it, and millions viewed it.

Here are some of the voices.
