can cause a foster child to become agressive. A foster child might dig his nails into one of his siblings. Such agressive acts are harmful to the sibling but also hurts the foster child as the sibling becomes mad and withdraws. The natural tendency for a foster child to feel withdrawn can grow even larger with each experience they have when another person withdraws.

and gay sexual identities were largely non-existent in 1990s television and film (Kielwasser and Wolf 1992; Dyer 1984) and although queer identity narratives are becoming more overtly prevalent (Myer and Wood 2013)‚ The Kids Are All Right and The Fosters are evidence these representations are narrow.

In the case of the child being taken away from her foster parents‚ it would seem as though there is no way to make a decision without someone getting hurt in the end. On one end‚ the birth parents made the horrible decision to do drugs and were unable to care for their daughter. While they did become rehabilitated‚ it took them a very long time to do so. On the other end‚ the foster parents were only temporarily legal guardians of the girl. So the question I think everyone would ask themselves is

The foster care system in New York City is deeply flawed. Sixty-four percent of foster care children are impoverished in their adult lives‚ 50% of girls are pregnant within 12-18 months of aging out of the system‚ and 80% of all inmates on death row grew up in the foster care system. Foster care children should not have to fight against these statistics.

Considering the devastating impact of the Second World War‚ criticism directed at Hoover for pre-emptively attempting to foster global peace is undeserved‚ even if the First World War debts he insisted on maintaining allowed the Nazi Party to stir-up German resentment toward the rest of the Western World. That said‚ the state of the economy has always played a major role in the outcome of U.S. elections‚ and it is thus unsurprising that at a time of such mass hardship at home‚ discussions of foreign

Context: Thomas C. Foster addresses to the audience that the actual act of sharing a meal means so much more than what it seems to represent.

Without even having a conversation‚ through the descriptive phrases used by distinct authors‚ one can utterly unfold what the author is trying to discreetly tell. It’s one of those tools that in order for the reader to comprehend what’s being indirectly

often the most stable person in their lives is their caseworker. “Traumatic experiences and an increased susceptibility for further wounds from unstable environments created in foster care continue to increase the vulnerability of this already fragile population” (Jones Harden‚ 2004‚ p.30). Caring for children and youth in foster or substitute care can be truly complicated and demanding.
