Nature of Parenthood

Being in foster care can either have a positive effect on someone or it could have a very negative effect on someone. In my case, it not only had a positive effect but it also had some downfalls. Most often times children/adolescents are placed in foster care because it is a safer environment for them to live in. Foster care is positive in many ways. They are positive in being it can give children and adolescents a safer home/environment to live in, it can stabilize the adolescent/child, and it can give the individual a more positive look on life. Although foster care can have many positive effects on an individual it can also have many negative effects. Foster care and being removed from the place the child grew up in can cause attachment issues, mental health issues, eating disorders, it can cause a child to become depressed and become more prone to drugs and alcohol, and can cause lots of stress on an individual.

To be a parent is a passionate business and it consists of anger as well as love. Parenting is a long-term affair. It is much longer than the majority of relationships in child care settings. Parents provide the continuity through the child’s life. Child care providers and teachers come and go in a child’s life, but parents provide the continuity that is needed.

Many people across the country may not be familiar with what foster care actually is. Foster care is a full- time substitute care of children outside their own home by people other than their biological or adoptive parents (“Foster” par. 1). These parents may have their children taken away from them for many different reasons. There are also

The life for a child in foster care is much different than any other child’s. While growing up children look up to their father or mother. They aspire to be like them and follow in their footsteps. For the children placed in foster care all they see is that their parents could not take care of them. They will not have the memoires of growing up with their family, but instead memories of the different homes they have been transferred too. Foster parents love and care for all of the children that come into their homes, but it’s hard for the children to accept someone who moves in and out of their lives.

Foster care can be a horrible experience for a child. Not knowing your parents or not being able to see them again can emotionally mess with their mind. They can be depressed and angry and think that they’re not wanted and that there’s no point in life. This can lead them bouncing from house to house just so they can find somewhere

Children are taken/put into care for many different reasons, they may not have had a great life or may have missed out on opportunities, or maybe they were neglected and/or abused and being in care is an opportunity to give them the best life possible. However, being in foster care also has its difficulties. Children may be unable to form attachments; they may isolate themselves socially, making it hard to build relationships. They may have been through trauma and are unable to move on, which will affect many parts of their development.

Many people, sometimes, identify foster care as an unsuccessful attempt to help a problematic child. Many people judge foster children because the children have had unacceptable parenting, or other events in their lives that affect their behavior. There are some people whose thinking process about the foster child will turn out the same exact way as their parents. Foster care has its good benefits, as well as its bad ones. People may say foster care is a bad things because it affects the child emotional and possibly physically. The child may start to develop an act of abandonment, doubtfulness, and lack of self­confidence, due to the fact he/she is being taken away from his/her mother/father or have been through a

Foster Care isn’t as bad as people make it sound. It is not true that the foster families are there for the money or do not treat the children right. Most foster families are financially sound and foster because of their love for children. Yes there are foster homes that are not the greatest, but there are many homes that want to help the child to succeed. The do this by providing respect to a child that has not seen much previously, feed them when many of the children have been hungry, provide medical care where the children may not have had regular medical care, and provide a safe place to sleep when they may previously have not had that safe place. The Foster Care Program is a positive alternative for many children. The Foster Care System provides a stable backbone to support the child, it helps them to

Few people know what foster care means and many ponder at those words. An online article published by “Foster Care” indicated that foster care is a temporary living arrangement for abused and neglected children who are in need of a safe place to live when their guardians cannot take responsibility over them. A child arises into the system when foster care services suspect a child is in danger (“Foster Care”). When a judge approves, the system takes in the child. The main reason of why children end up in foster care services is mainly due to the guardian. Foster children usually have families who deal with issues like alcohol use, illness, drug addiction, or homelessness. Those issues will affect the child negatively if remained in environment. All children in foster care can range anywhere from infants to 18 years

“It’s about my entire life, it’s not just about my childhood. I want to know that I’m going to have someone to walk me down the aisle. That I’m going to have grandparents for my children.” -Mary (a girl in foster care). Adoption and foster care is used as a solution to a child not having an adequate home, but because of its many issues, the child is put into an unfavorable position and left with an uncertain future. Foster care is when a child is placed into a home and waits for a family to adopt them. Adoption is the act of taking legal responsibility of a child and to protect them . On paper, it sounds likes like an act of kindness, but adoption and foster care has many issues tied to it. Due to the many problems of adoption and foster care, such as the environment in a foster home, the behavior of their peers, mental instability, the adoption process, a child that experienced it impact their life negatively, as demonstrated in The Murderer’s Daughter by Randy Susan Meyers.

If the child becomes available for adoption, foster parents may apply to adopt. The child best interest is the primary consideration when selecting a forever family. Whereas adoption is legal and permanent parental custody of a child along with all rights, responsibilities, and filiation. The adoptive parent take on all responsibilities of raising the child. (Center, 2017)

Foster care differs from adoption in several ways. For example, when individuals choose to become foster parents, they are not legally responsible for the child for which they are caring. Instead, that legal responsibility remains on either the local authority or the birthparents. In addition, foster care is temporary, although it can be permanent in some scenarios. In most cases, though, it is only short term. Adoption of course gives legal responsibility to a new family and is designed to be permanent in nature. However, foster care can be just as advantageous for a child as adoption for various reasons.

Foster care is a system were a child is put into after the parents gives them up. The child will stay in the system until he or she is adopted. If the child is never adopted they will be released at the age of 20. The children of the foster care system are there because they were voluntarily given up by the parent or taken away if the parent can't fit the role. There are many cons to the foster care system.

Foster care is a system where the government places a minor in a home with a caregiver in a group home or private care. As to an Adoption is when a adoptive parent(s) are legally granted the rights and responsibilities of the child which removes all those rights from the birth parent of the child. Does foster care affect the psychological health of a child as to a child that is adopted? Though most people might think that Foster care and Adoption are the same they are not, they have the same objective which is to help a child. The difference is that foster care is a temporary act to help a child hopefully reconnect with his/her birth parents and if there are no chances of that possibility then they would consider adoption. It does not mean

Most people assume that parenthood is pure joy, but research shows that it can also be pure misery. In the article “Bundle of Trouble”, Robin W. Simon discusses some of the advantages and disadvantages associated with parenthood. First, Simon notes that parenthood has several emotional benefits, like the prospect of being a grandparent and the satisfaction of watching a child grow up. However, Simon argues that the exorbitant cost of raising children is a major source of stress among parents. Lastly, Simon argues that there is a lack of social support (i.e. family, social institutions) to alleviate the social and economic issues associated with parenthood. One of the most significant ideas presented in the article is that raising a child
