Bill would overhaul Texas foster care: "When Donna Loden was placed in foster care at age 5, she was shipped from her family's Lubbock home more than 450 miles across the state to Houston.
It might as well have been Mars.
Separated from her younger sister, she traded a trailer park in the middle of nowhere for an urban home in a city that seemed as big as the entire world.
'It's traumatic enough to be taken away from home, but when you add more distance and strange people and you have no idea where you are, it just adds more trauma,' said Loden, now 29 and an employee of a Goldthwaite residential treatment center for foster children. 'I became emotionally blocked off as a child because of that.'"
