[quote=Anonymous][quote]If you are a foster mom, besides taking care of the kids, what would you teach them so that they are better equipped when they leave you?[/quote] Foster kids do not have safety nets. They can not call mom or dad for help. They can not move back in when they lose their job. They are alone. They often fall victim to bad relationships and people who take advantage of them because they are seeking not to be alone. 1. How to save for a rainy day 2. Volunteer -volunteer organizations often have caring people who are less likely to take advantage of someone and more willing to help. It can also help a lonely young adult find a community. 3. How to defend themselves and how to avoid bad relationships. 4. How to navigate social services for adults if they find they need them 5. How to find medical and dental care and get insurance[/quote]
