Every year 30.000 children in the Foster care system “Age out” when they turn 18 years of age. Suddenly they are without parents, foster parents or other grown-ups for support and care. A large number of them end up as homeless, criminals or drug-abusers. In a home on a hill in McArthur, Ohio lives three boys; Robert, Dylan and Jimmy, who are all adopted by J.C and now brothers. Their backgrounds are different, but still the same. They are all the products of parents who couldn’t raise them. The thought of these boys without a home and each other would only contribute to the poor statistics concerning “Out of Age”-children. Though finding support and comfort the ghost of their past sometimes still surface.
