Love and Foster Care

An It’s Complicated project by FosterClub

I often refer to this...

I often refer to this moment in my life around my 18th birthday where the family I thought would love and support me throughout my life rejected me… or so I thought. In actuality, what had happened was that we had two different ideas about what our relationship would look like going in to the future. I don’t know what I wanted from them in terms of a relationship- I had never thought about it.

Does entering foster care automatically count as "a loss" for young people?

Some people believe that every young person who enters foster care has experienced some sort of loss. Yet the foster care system often does not help young people cope with their grief. This group is designed to explore what can be done to help young people grieve the losses as a result of their experiences leading up to - and while in - foster care.

Should foster care workers be allowed to access social networking sites from work as a way to engage youth?
