A Call to Action!
Finally! The foster kids are gonna get some cred! ABC is launching a call to action to investigate and report on the state of the foster care system nationwide. I'm so very glad. The only problem is that there are some many different issues regarding foster care, I'm very afraid they are going to focus on those areas that suggest 1) all foster homes are good home; 2) kids are placed for their own misgivings and not necessarily that of their parents; 3) that no matter why they are placed, foster kids will become "special needs" - not true, not necessary, and that's how stereotypes are born; 4) foster kids will appear as orphans with no direction, no goals, limited potential, less worthy than the rest; 5)any label is a bad label.For research, things to know, statistics, volunteer information, etc., go to my delicious page. And because I had to, I had no choice, I wrote a letter to Primetime. I had to. Yes, I know. I can get dramatic. But like I care. What on TV isn't dramatic?
