Ryan Berg, author of "No House to Call My Home: Love, Family, & Other Transgressions," will talk about his work as a counselor with LGBTQ teenagers in foster care, especially those who are about to age out of the child welfare system.

A panel discussion will follow. Participants include Donna Red Wing of One Iowa, Penny McGee of Iowa Kids Net, and Julia Webb of Youth & Shelter Services. The panel will speak to the needs and problems in Iowa with special emphasis on the search for LGBTQ-affirming family foster and adoptive homes.

Berg is a West Des Moines native and Valley High School graduate now living in Minneapolis.
