USDA's Maurice Smith to Speak



Mr. Maurice Smith, Middle Georgia USDA Farm Loan Manager, was placed in the State of Georgia Foster Care System at age 3 with his sisters in Crisp County (Cordele).  He aged out of the system having never been adopted but being fully loved by his caregiver(s).  This is the magic, he shared.  He was parented as a fully loved child of the house.

Finding resources and opportunities, Maurice, at age 18, signed himself back into the system and the State of Georgia paid for his undergraduate degree through Ft Valley University.  He then pursued post-graduate studies at Michigan State University where he met his wife and they now live in Putnam County raising their 2 children.
