by the Smith family, most of Renee Adams life took place within the foster care system. Renee’s involvement with the system began at the age of two when neighbors’ complaints about neglect prompted involvement by Child Protective Services (CPS). CPS worked with Renee’s mother for the period of one year but, after repeated failed drug tests and very little progress towards providing a safe environment for Renee, removal to foster care took place. After removal, reunification attempts went on…

all her life. Her mom was exhausted, without a home, and in no way prepared to take on the responsibility of a baby. As soon as the baby was old enough to live without her mother, Foster Care stepped in, and settled her into a temporary home. She remained there for two prolonged years where she was starved by her foster parents, who were under the impression she was overweight. During these two years, her mother was working to make a better life for herself, in the hopes to gain back custody of…

The National Center for Biotechnology Information(NCBI) did a study of 155 female children between the ages of four to seventeen who were in foster care. They found sexual abuse was reported by eighty-one percent of them, and sixty-eight percent were sexually abused by more than one individual (Girls). It is a social workers job to find out about mistreatment like this, and with such high percentages of sexual abuse, there is an obvious problem in the system. Whether the social worker has too…

A Season I took a step outside and could smell the crisp air of autumn. It was a windy day and my heart was pounding. I knew something was about to happen, but unsure of the outcome that lay ahead. I was with the person that makes my world keep going around, my mom. Literally without my mom and her family I would not be where I am today. We had just gone to church and were getting ready to leave the house for a little bit. When out of nowhere in the boondocks of Bremen, came a knock at the…

FOSTER CARE AND THE EFFECTS ON CHILDREN Foster care is care provided for children whose families are temporarily unable to care for them (Merck Manuals, 2007).

Knowing a few people who have been in the foster care system, they seem to make it really difficult for the biological parents to get the children back even after fulfilling the…

Hayworth, William Life is not about where you started I began to know hardship at a very early age of 2 months; I was removed from my family and placed into foster care. My dad divorced my mom shortly after I was born and never looked back. I spent the next 15 years moving between foster homes. I became a bitter and rebellious child.

has been proven, that foster children begin making bad decisions due to sadness. When I put myself in that situation, I can feel that horrible feeling of not being able to see your actual parents. The best suggestion I can give somebody in this situation is for them to stay strong. I know you don 't have your two original parents there for you, but you have to accept the fact that somethings happen for a reason. What you do have is two amazing person 's who are your foster parents. Yeah they…
