I M Sorry For Leaving A Foster Home
3rd of February, 1991 Dear Carl, I'm sorry. I’m sorry for leaving. Sorry for sending you away. Sorry for everything. I just couldn't stand it. Mum had left and I didn't know how to cope. I didn't want to. I just had to get away. I know you despised her for leaving. But this is different. It's for your own good. I couldn't stand it. I'd have to put you and Harley in a foster home, and I almost did. But I saw you listening. I knew you were there. So I sold the house. Talked to Beryl. She didn't want to have you both with her. No money. Same as us. When you left, I cried. I wanted to go after that bus when I realised what I'd done. But I remembered my plans. I'm leaving the city. I wanted to start a new life. I can’t.

Carl, I’m writing this

    The Legislation Policies and Procedures course has taught me a lot about advocacy, including why advocates are necessary for children. According to the article “Definitions and Reasons for Advocacy,” one of the reasons why advocates are important is that adults listen to adults, but do not always listen to children. The article "Foster-Care System Stretched Too Far" is an illustration of the consequences that arise when there is no advocate for children to ensure they are heard by adults. The case of Logan Marr mentioned in this article has forced me to consider how I would respond if a client disclosed abuse to me as well as the follow up actions that should be taken. In this course, I have also learned about ethics, especially the ones…

    This analysis demonstrates how Illinois' policies for funding foster care services may have a negative and unintended impact on the placement of children in state care. Findings from this exploratory study suggests that the combination of Illinois' managed care funding strategies, decreased funding for private child welfare agencies, and placement and permanency policies create pressure on private agency staff to make service decisions prioritizing the agency's business goal of financial health in important life decisions for the child.…

Another way to prevent maltreatment in the foster care system was to implicate a nurse home visitation (MacMillan el al., 2009). This process was a way of getting a nurse to examine and check a child upon their visit. This Programme was paced help and report physical abuse and neglecting among children in the foster care system (MacMillan el al., 2009).

    Foster Care Experience

    Foster care is a system where a child is placed into a temporary or permanent home in order to provide proper care to children who need a home for a variety of reasons. For this cross cultural experience, I decided that it would be most beneficial to attend a foster child’s home and interview the direct source itself. Before this experience I expected the child to be living a completely different lifestyle from me. I also anticipated him to be severely influenced by all the changes in his life and I imagined him to be weak and strong at the same time. Weak for all the instability in his life, and strong for getting through it. Of course I expected him to be upset and depressed at least once in his life time but at this point in his age I also…

    While I was sitting in the reticent bathroom pacing back and forth, scared, tense, and quivering I was scared to even look at the results. Sitting here thinking back and wondering to myself if that was the right answer. How could I do this to someone that I should have loved? Going back to an outstanding year in 2004, full of excitement and joy but ended in agony and sorrow. I was with a boy that I thought was my knight and shining armor, I mean this is really the first time I ever felt loved. Living in the dreadful house of my grandmother, he was my paradise, my escape route to have fun. There was no way that I could show any expressions of pleasure because I would be punished, so I would creep out of the house or say I was going somewhere that I wasn’t. Meeting up with this chocolate, suave, attractive young man I felt like I was in heaven. Rubbing on his velvety skin, just made me have this feeling that I couldn’t resist and that no one ever talked to me about. I mean my mind and my emotions were just out of control with a rage of hormones. As we made passionate love neither I nor him was even thinking about using protection we were just caught up in the moment, adoring every minute of it. The night came to a close and as I headed back home, the gut feeling I had just didn’t feel right. I mean, I knew I was already in trouble because my grandmother had called me almost 15 times on my cell phone, but this feeling was just different. While at home, I realized over the weeks that I started to eat more and I was always tired, something that I wasn’t used to because I was a very energetic person. Everyone started to notice all my friends, noticing that my clothes where getting a little tighter, I was always asking them for their food and they asked me, Are you pregnant? At that moment, I thought maybe I am it all makes sense with all the problems I have been having. After getting home that day from school my friend gave me a pregnancy test and I was…
