Caring Quilt Every day here in the United States hundreds of children enter into the Foster Care system. When a case worker is called to remove a child from his home or take a child from one foster home to another, the old familar problem of how to carry the children's clothing and belongs takes place. Children in the foster care system rarely have a suitcase available for their own use and the case worker is forced to resort to garbage bags. Using garbage bags for children already dazed and wounded by their families and the system just adds more wounds to the child. They too, feel like "garbage." The goal of Fostering Love is to sew duffel bags and make them available to Children's Services and other state workers who regularly transport children in the foster care system. Show a child in Foster Care Why duffel bags and not suitcases? Children's Services Departments are very often understaffed , overworked and in small confined areas. Our local office has four caseworkers to a room about 8' by 10'. They don't have room to store suitcases but, duffel bags can be folded and stored in the caseworker's cars. Having them in the trunk makes it easy for the caseworker to grab one when transporting or removing a child from a home.

I have taken just about every class the planet can offer, and I STILL enjoy the quality, quantity, and profession information and presentation of your Online Training Program. You have saved my sanity on training. I find myself giggling with you, hoping with you, and learning with you. Thanksabunch!!" - MaryJo "I just finished the course on Anger Management. My goal was to do the reading, take the test and be done with it. Well, surprise, surprise. I loved it!!! The lesson had so much more information in it than just about anger management. It touched on different ways we see the acting out of children (and adults) who are experiencing episodes of unresolved anger.

This year's National Adoption Month initiative is focused on ways to recruit and retain parents for the 115,000 children and youth in foster care waiting for adoptive families. National Adoption Day is November 20, 2010; a national day of celebration of adoptive families and an opportunity for courts to open their doors and finalize the adoptions of children from foster care. We have posted some resources and ideas for your parent group or agency to celebrate adoption month and would like to hear about any local events you are planning.

    Extractions: Needless to say, we were a bit wary now about the foster care system, but those fears were put to rest with our next placement about a month later. At that time, we had a two-and-a-half year old African-American boy placed with us. And about 6 months later, we were fortunate to have his one-year-old half brother placed with us. They also have a two-year-old sister, who we had planned on taking in as well, but that never came to pass. The boys stayed with us until early November 1995, and during their time with us, they were a source of constant joy for us. It really killed us when they left, because we had grown so attached to them, but we had to let go. However, if they ever come up for adoption, we're seriously considering being first in line. I should also mention that we also had a 10-year-old boy placed with us for about a year. He, too, was basically a good kid (even though he was constantly getting in trouble at school), but his behavior slowly changed to a point where we thought it would be detrimental to the 2 younger boys if he continued living with us, so he was placed with another foster family. Right now, we are in the Alabama foster care system, and have no children placed with us. Our last long-term care was a 17 year old African-American girl. She graduated from High School this year (1997), and decided to move out of state once she turned 18. I give a lot of credit to the Department Of Human Resources social workers here in Huntsville for really caring for the children under their care. Without their help, our foster daughter may not be having the chance to do the things she's done. It was a tough senior year for her, but the support she received from all involved helped her get through that difficult time. We've had quite a variety of children pass through our house this past year. We'll still accept respite children for a weekend or so, but no more long term placements for a few months. But we've said that before....who knows what the future has to bring.
