When Maria entered the Damamli program in April
of 2006, she was excited about this program and what the future might hold. She
had recently been kicked out of her foster home for fighting with the other
foster child and later bounced from foster home to foster home due to her
non-compliance with the household rules and incidents of being AWOL (absent
without leave). In spite of this, Maria was an honor roll student that didn’t
allow her pregnancy to get her off track.
