FOSTER,

Rankins only accepted older
girls in foster care, because they
knew that demographic is hard
to place. They were able to give
Lupe the time and care she
needed to heal and reach her
full potential.
“Living with them was
amazing, I could be a normal
teenager,” Lupe said.
After living with the
Rankins for two years, Lupe
moved out and began living
on her own, with the support
of the Rankins. Now, at age
20, she works as an in-home
caregiver for senior citizens and
is saving money to move and
intern in the residential facility
she was placed in after entering
the system.
That’s a highly abbreviated
version of the story of just one
of the hundreds of children
who come through Marion
County’s foster care system
every year. Lupe says her story
isn’t the most extreme case in
the system.
“At that treatment center,
I realized my issues were very
small compared to those who
have been in foster care since
they were babies,” she said.
While there’s no typical
experience of a child in foster
care, there is data on what
the experience can look like
for young people who fi nd
themselves swept up by this
system.
According
to
Marion
County foster care data
aggregated by the University
of Kansas, 39 percent of kids
in the system are in nonrelative
homes, like Lupe. In the fi rst
quarter of 2018, 32 percent
were in relative foster homes,
and the remainder were in
other types of care, including
group homes and independent
living programs.
Due to a shortage of
homes, kids in care often move
placements. When children
need one-on-one attention or
have special needs of some kind,
they’re often placed multiple
times before they fi nd a foster
home that’s suitable or are
transferred to a different level
of care (residential treatment,
for example). About a third of
children in the system are only
placed once before exiting
care and a quarter are placed
twice. At the other end of the
spectrum, 16 percent of foster
kids are placed six or more
times, as was true in Lupe’s case.
The knowledge that other
kids are in much worse scenarios
motivates former foster kids
like Rankin to get involved
with changing the system.
To this end, Rankin began
working with Oregon Foster
Youth Connection (OFYC),
an advocacy organization that
mobilizes current and former
foster youth to engage in
changing the system for the
better. Before pulling away
from the organization to
focus on work more recently,
Rankin served as the Marion-
Polk County Chapter lead
for OFYC and was named an
Outstanding Young Leader
by the advocacy organization
FosterClub in 2017.
A big part of OFYC’s work
is connecting foster youth not
just with advocacy campaigns
but also with each other.
For Royce Markley, a recent
graduate of the University of
Oregon and a former foster
youth, getting engaged in the
advocacy world began with
the realization that he shared
a meaningful connection with
those who had been through
the system.
“We had these experiences
in common that we couldn’t
relate to other people,”
Markley said.
Markley’s journey through
the system was not a linear
one. Due to neglect, abuse
and a mother who struggled
with drug addiction, Markley
was placed in care for a period
when he was a baby. After a
stint in care, he was returned
to his biological family, only to
just in Oregon but nationally.
Attending these conferences
paved the way to his transition
to foster care advocacy work a
year later.
Prior to getting involved in
the advocacy world, Markley
said, he didn’t want to be
associated with foster care.
“I really tried to be a quote-
unquote ‘normal kid,’” he
said. It wasn’t until he began
meeting other foster kids
like him that he changed
his mind.
“I just realized I really
liked these people,” he
said, referring to the foster
kids he met at conferences.

funding to support the foster FosterFight.com to tell his
care system and create a healthy personal story and share about
and safe environment for the the work he’s done in the foster
care community. The goal of

At the age of 15, he attended the blog, Markley said, is to

enter into care again at the age
of 14.
Markley lived in eight
different homes during his
time in care and attended
three different high schools.
And while he never faced
abuse in his placements, if the
system were more fully staffed
and supported at all levels, the
experience could’ve been a
more stable and nurturing one.
Markley’s own experience in
foster care ended on a happier
note, relatively speaking. As
Markley was approaching high
school graduation, his younger
brother was struggling in high
school, and the foster family
they were staying with told
them they’d have to leave after
Markley graduated. So, Markley
had to make a decision: put
college on hold to work and
take care of his brother or
fi nd a new placement. Soon
after, a friend texted him that
her grandparents had recently
become a certifi ed foster home
and were willing to consider
taking Markley and his brother
in.
It was with that family, at the
age of 18, that Markley found
a home.
“Until I was 18 years old I
didn’t feel 100 percent part of
someone’s family,” he said. But
these foster parents welcomed
him into their home. While he
aged out of foster care at 21 and
lives on his own now, he still
goes home for family dinners.
Now, with a bachelor’s of
science degree in psychology
from University of Oregon,
he’s heading to Lewis and Clark
College to pursue a master’s
degree in professional mental
health counseling. Markley
hopes to work in the mental
health fi eld, working with at-
risk kids and foster youth.
