    Foster Youth Misconceptions

    Being a critic for such a vulnerable community is difficult because ethically the critic has to separate himself or herself from being influenced by the misconceptions of the foster youth community that society has created. One misconception that society has for foster youth that are placed in relative foster homes is that they do not experience the same emotional turmoil as other foster youth that are placed in foster homes with non-relatives. By including quotes from the poems in the book about the conversation between the author and his parents on the topic of love, it is clear how complex and how impactful the opinions of biological parents have on their child regardless of him being raised by his uncle. Author Demontae Thompson is attempting…

    The Importance Of Teens In Foster Care

    In 2014 a child entered foster care every two minutes (Statistics, 2014). Out of the four-hundred thousand children in foster care, twenty percent of those are teenagers between the ages of sixteen and twenty (Helping Youth, 2013). Out of that twenty percent, one in five teenagers will essentially emancipate or sign them out of care if they are not adopted before the age of eighteen leaving many jobless, homeless, throwing away education, and with very little independent living skills (Helping Youth, 2013). As well, once a teen is no longer in foster care any services they may have been receiving are completely stopped; in addition, they are also left without health insurance. This is particularly alarming since statistically speaking, foster…

    Foster Care Research Paper

    Foster Care a Trapped Door Is foster care a safety net or a trapped door? Children come into foster care needing a safe place. They need to be able to either find a adopted home, be reunified with their parents or parent, or live in a stable home with a family member. Instead, children come into the foster care system in which they move from foster home to foster home, without loving parents or a permanent family. While in foster care, if they have not been adopted by the age of 9, they will most likely be in foster care until they reach age 18 and “age out” of the system.…

    Foster Care Problems

    Problems in the Foster Care System “Foster care is a state-managed child welfare system that provides out-of-home placement for children who have been removed from their original home due to neglect, abuse, delinquency or abandonment.” What this quote from DAMAR Foster Care Services fails to mention is that though in 2014, 415,129 children were removed from dangerous situations and placed into a more acceptable situation, these children and young adults are still not safe. Foster care is intended to be a temporary safe haven for children who have been neglected, the average foster child spends 23 months in the care of others, and will have an about ten homes over that time, and yet they are still subject to sexual, mental and physical abuse,…

    The Foster Care System

    While the foster care system is an aid to parents and children across the nation, it was something that was meant to be temporary. The foster care system is meant for parents to either regain custody of their children or transition the child from their biological parent’s home into an adoptive parent’s home. Each state spends a certain amount of tax dollars funding this system in order to provide children with stable temporary housing while their parents correct what behavior got their child taken away or until the child can be adopted out into a new family .This research project focuses on the foster care system nationwide. This research was conducted to show how the number of children in the foster children, per state, as either grown or…
