Alannah, a student from Marengo, recently completed a project that included putting together 150 care bags for children entering foster care. This project was in collaboration with her becoming an uncommon student of the Herbert Hoover Foundation. Thank you Alannah for thinking of children for this project!

For children in care, the quality of their foster carer's training is often a lottery, with much of it being inadequate. While children may say "all we need is love," they also need carers educated in trauma, who understand their role and how to navigate the system. Without this, children are misunderstood, and the broken system prevents the stable, loving homes they so need and deserve. The training of foster carers is inconsistent, with thousands of training providers offering courses that often lack substance, accreditation, lacking any meaningful qualifications for foster carers, the majority of which written and developed by people with no fostering experience whatsoever. Recruitment without retention is meaningless. The revolving door of underprepared foster carers fuels instability, leading to lifelong negative impacts for children in care.

While many hope to Foster or Adopt infants, they represent merely a small portion of children in the Foster Care System. 💭 Often, these babies reunify with their Biological Families more quickly than other age groups, attributable to the primary goal of Foster Care being safe reunification. 💛 For this reason, when families look to Adopt infants, they may experience a more challenging process due to lengthier or extended waiting periods. 🙏 #LoftusVergariAndAssociates #LVA #Myths #FosterCareAwareness #AdoptionSupport

Senator Ossof's report on Georgia's foster care safety has been released and it is damning. The problem is there are 49 other states with equal to worse facts about the atrocities happening to children while in state care. We have yet to talk about how 80% of children in foster care have no business there! It was the unconstitutional Judges, Social workers who lie, the appointed attorneys failing to protect them and their families for federal funding incentives that made this all possible.
