Book excerpt: There are great rewards that come along with being a foster parent, yet there are also great challenges that can leave you feeling depleted, alone, and discouraged. The many burdens of a foster parent's day--hurting children, struggling biological parents, and a broken system--are only compounded by the many burdens of a foster parent's heart--confusion, anxiety, heartache, anger, and fear. With the compassion and insight of a fellow foster parent, Jamie C. Finn helps you see your struggles through the lens of the gospel, bringing biblical truths to bear on your unique everyday realities. In these short, easy-to-read chapters, you'll find honest, personal stories and practical lessons that provide encouragement and direction from God's Word as you walk the journey of foster parenting.
Book Synopsis Same Situation, Different Outcomes by : Lilian Daisy Henderson
Download or read book Same Situation, Different Outcomes written by Lilian Daisy Henderson and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For several decades researchers have discussed the significance of structural and cultural factors influencing child and family well-being. Factors such as parental attitudes and behaviors, socioeconomic status, household structure, among others, are a large part of understanding family outcomes. These factors have also been found to play a role in the overrepresentation of certain racial and ethnic groups in the child welfare system. In this dissertation, I explore the structural and cultural processes that influence the risk factors which result in the disproportionate placement of racial and ethnic minority children in the child welfare system. These processes have been categorized as the following risk factors: (a) individual and family, (b) community, and (c) systemic or organizational risk. However, researchers have not fully explored these risk factors within the spectrum of a culture-structure nexus; I focus on individual, family, and community risk factors in this research. Culture and social structure are relevant to the debate about disproportionality because national-, state-, and county-level data often reveal that families who are more likely involved in the child welfare system are those living in poverty and/or are of minority status who face many social problems that contribute to their continued disadvantaged position in American society. I focus on black families since research indicates that there is a disproportionate involvement of African American children in foster care compared to their presence in the general population. Using in-depth interviews, ethnographic observations, the comparative case method, and state-level (i.e, New York) data, I investigate the forces that contribute to the high relative rate of removal of biological children from African American homes resulting in out-of-home placement in Erie County, New York. Results suggest that both culture and structure are important in understanding variations in outcomes of the urban poor. Indeed, the problem of the placement of children into foster care have both structural and cultural origins that work in conjunction with each other but structural factors are precursors to cultural ones. Families who experienced placement of their children into foster care exhibited a lack of strong, intimate social networks compared to families who did not experience placement of their children. Moreover, my research indicates that when social relationships and social networks are not robust and fully functioning, disadvantage for parents is often a result. This disadvantage may be in the form of risk factors such as neglect and substance and physical abuse where parenting skills and techniques are not developed, taught, or observed; they may even be totally absent. I also find evidence of the social reproduction of foster care placement from one generation to the next but that the transmission of a certain type of habitus, cultural capital, and agency can help mitigate against this occurrence. In this study, I raise important methodological, theoretical, and policy issues.
Book Synopsis Decision in Child Care by : R. A. Parker
Download or read book Decision in Child Care written by R. A. Parker and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-11-07 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Responsible decisions are continually being made in social work. In particular the decision to place a child in a foster home can have far-reaching consequences for their welfare and it is vital that we make the best possible choice on their behalf. Although in the 1960s thousands of children were boarded out every year no systematic attempt had yet been made to summarize this experience as a guide for practice. Thus important decisions lacked the help which past experience could provide. Originally published in 1966, this study assembled the past experience of foster care in one area, analysed it and presented it in such a way that predictions could be made of the outcome of a potential placement. At the time it offered an important contribution to the task of providing the best possible care for children separated from their own families. Today it can be read in its historical context.
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

Book Synopsis Children in Foster Care by : James Barber
Download or read book Children in Foster Care written by James Barber and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2004-08-02 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Researchers, practitioners, journalists and politicians increasingly recognise that foster care throughout the world is in a state of crisis. There are more and more children needing care and, as residential alternatives dry up, more of these children are being assigned to foster families. This book reports the major findings of a two-year longitudinal study of 235 such children who entered the foster care system in Southern Australia between 1998 and 1999. As well as examining the changing policy context of children's services, the book documents the psychosocial outcomes for these children, their feedback on their experiences of care, and the views of their social workers and carers. In the process, the book examines some cherished beliefs about foster care policy and sheds new light on them. The research reveals that while most children do quite well in foster care up to the two-year point, there is a worrying amount of placement instability at a time when the concentration of emotionally troubled children in care is increasing throughout the western world. Although, surprisingly, placement instability does not appear to produce psychosocial impairment for a period of up to eight months in care, it has an extreme effect on children who are moved from placement to placement because no carer will tolerate their behaviour. These children are consigned to a life of distribution and emotional upheaval because of the lack of alternative forms of care. Another unexpected finding of the research is that increasing the rate of parental contact achieves little or nothing in relation to the likelihood of family reunification. As child welfare increasingly enters a world of research-based practice, Children in Foster Care provides some much needed hard evidence of how foster care policy and practice can be improved.

Book excerpt: "The United States Code is the official codification of the general and permanent laws of the United States of America. The Code was first published in 1926, and a new edition of the code has been published every six years since 1934. The 2012 edition of the Code incorporates laws enacted through the One Hundred Twelfth Congress, Second Session, the last of which was signed by the President on January 15, 2013. It does not include laws of the One Hundred Thirteenth Congress, First Session, enacted between January 2, 2013, the date it convened, and January 15, 2013. By statutory authority this edition may be cited "U.S.C. 2012 ed." As adopted in 1926, the Code established prima facie the general and permanent laws of the United States. The underlying statutes reprinted in the Code remained in effect and controlled over the Code in case of any discrepancy. In 1947, Congress began enacting individual titles of the Code into positive law. When a title is enacted into positive law, the underlying statutes are repealed and the title then becomes legal evidence of the law. Currently, 26 of the 51 titles in the Code have been so enacted. These are identified in the table of titles near the beginning of each volume. The Law Revision Counsel of the House of Representatives continues to prepare legislation pursuant to 2 U.S.C. 285b to enact the remainder of the Code, on a title-by-title basis, into positive law. The 2012 edition of the Code was prepared and published under the supervision of Ralph V. Seep, Law Revision Counsel. Grateful acknowledgment is made of the contributions by all who helped in this work, particularly the staffs of the Office of the Law Revision Counsel and the Government Printing Office"--Preface.
