Download or read book I'm Nobody written by Carole Klock and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-04-04 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Home is safe, comforting, loving, and welcoming. At least, it is supposed to be. Follow the journey of one little girl as she gets shuffled through the foster care system. Her only desire is to live in a home with parents who will love and take care of her. Instead, she encounters an angry foster mother who imposes a sense of fear and dread and a man who sexually abuses her. During her teen years, she finds music, and in a way, it saves her. Then she wanders into a Baptist church in a Philadelphia suburb and finds true salvation. Many foster children age out of the system and enter the adult world while still carrying heavy burdens of guilt, fear, rejection, and regret. Many of them never find salvation in any sense of the word. If you are one of them, then this story is for you. And if you're a foster parent who is trying to understand the children you are caring for, you will find insight into what your children are thinking and feeling.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a former foster child, I know how it feels to be alone, to feel lost, to feel hopeless, and to feel helpless. I also know you can make a difference in the life of a foster child. Ive been there. While my story is not unique, I want to share it in order to help the caring people of America walk in the shoes of a child who experiences physical, mental, and emotional abuse; is removed from everything she knows; is provided a roof over her head by the State and strangers; and then is thrust into adulthood totally unprepared but later succeeds. I want them to see, touch, and feel what the abused/foster child suffers and why they are who they are. I want them to see the major gaps in the childs life skills and social abilities and why they exist. We must walk in the childs shoes in order to understand them. Only then will we be able to truly fill the enormous amount of needs they have and feel confident in adopting, fostering, and working with foster children. We must fully understand the heart and life of a foster child before we can effectively foster, adopt, or work with this vulnerable population of extraordinary children. I invite you to walk with me, and learn how it truly feels to grow up as nobodys child. A little girl destined to failure, confined by abuse, and traumatized by foster care is inspired by faith to succeed.

Book Synopsis The Foster Child's Journey Into My Home by : Ella Mentry
Download or read book The Foster Child's Journey Into My Home written by Ella Mentry and published by . This book was released on 2017-03-21 with total page 35 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book I write about the life that I experience, through the eyes of foster children, while they lived in my home with my family and me. I want to let the world know that it is important for us to help raise, not only our children, but children whose parent or parents are unable to do so. Yes, "it takes a village to raise a child"! These foster children enter the foster care system, some as young as newborn, and sometimes they linger or get lost in the system. They either float from home-to-home, are adopted by an adoptive foster parent(s) or the foster parent who is caring for them. Very few children return to their families, for many different reasons. I want to enlighten people, by helping them understand that these precious foster children deserve a home, they deserve to feel wanted, loved and told that they are special. As a former foster parent, I learned that there was a misconception about foster children. Some people thought that all foster children were born drug-addicted and/or were sickly. Not so! Foster children are up-to-date with their immunizations, they go for physicals each time that are placed in a foster home and upon leaving the foster home. I also want to share some of my experiences which I had with foster children...some of the things they did and some of the things they have said. We must remember that children are quite resilient, therefore, even foster children thrive in uncomfortable circumstances. Please read what I have written because I would like for everyone to try and understand what it must be like to be a child, be removed from your home and placed inside of a home with total strangers. Please take a minute and try to imagine yourself in their shoes...how scary it must feel like to them. How, even babies who are used to their mother's scent, end up in a stranger's arms. This stranger has a totally different scent that the baby's mother, so imagine how irritable this baby can become because he or she no longer smell

It is the job of the adults to make good decisions and keep them safe.
Book Synopsis No Way to Treat a Child by : Naomi Schaefer Riley
Download or read book No Way to Treat a Child written by Naomi Schaefer Riley and published by Bombardier Books. This book was released on 2021-10-05 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kids in danger are treated instrumentally to promote the rehabilitation of their parents, the welfare of their communities, and the social justice of their race and tribe—all with the inevitable result that their most precious developmental years are lost in bureaucratic and judicial red tape. It is time to stop letting efforts to fix the child welfare system get derailed by activists who are concerned with race-matching, blood ties, and the abstract demands of social justice, and start asking the most important question: Where are the emotionally and financially stable, loving, and permanent homes where these kids can thrive? “Naomi Riley’s book reveals the extent to which abused and abandoned children are often injured by their government rescuers. It is a must-read for those seeking solutions to this national crisis.” —Robert L. Woodson, Sr., civil rights leader and president of the Woodson Center “Everyone interested in child welfare should grapple with Naomi Riley’s powerful evidence that the current system ill-serves the safety and well-being of vulnerable kids.” —Walter Olson, senior fellow, Cato Institute, Robert A. Levy Center for Constitutional Studies
