    Foster care has been a process of successes and failures. Originally Foster Care was established for poor and poverty stricken families who were unable to adequately provide for their children. Prior to welfare involvement, children were simply placed with family members or community members who were able to care for the child. In 1636, Benjamin Eaton became the first official “foster” child. Since that time, numerous laws and policies have been set up in an effort to care for children who have experienced abuse or neglect and provide temporary services to families in crisis (Barbell & Freundlich, 2001).…

    The other parents display similar patterns. Oku’s parents, while not obviously in exile, rely upon hard work as a means of gaining acceptance in their new country. Oku’s father, Fitz, continually suggests that life was better back "home" (20), evoking a similar, nostalgia to Tuan and Cam’s. According to Oku, both of his parents seem to be "people who somehow lived in the near past and were unable or unwilling to step into the present" (190). Their feelings of belonging are uncertain as they long simultaneously for the past and for inclusion in the present.…

    Lori and I have been friends for as long as I can remember. Our interview was more like two friends having a conversation that focused on her aging father with Parkinson’s Disease and her role as a caregiver, however we drifted off the subject a time or two reminiscing about many years ago. Lori has two children, a son, Jamie and a daughter, Baylee. She has been in a relationship with a gentleman for about ten years. Since Lori and I have remained in contact with one another throughout the years, I, more or less, knew how she would answer each question.…

    Exactly why do cartoons always fall into the category of ¨kids’ stuff¨? What could be the reasoning behind this stigma of being cheaply made and poorly written so that only a child could enjoy them?

In fact, as of the last few decades, there has been a sort of renaissance with animation wherein cartoons are given higher budgets and better stories that could parallel even the best live-action media. Cartoons are being treated not just as entertainment for kids, but as entertainment for anyone and everyone.…

Keeping them together will only benefit them, the families they will go to, and the foster system. It will bring a sense of security and support that only they can insight…
