[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you for what you're doing, OP. You really are making a difference in children's lives. Yes, fostering isn't for everyone, but it certainly sounds like it's a positive experience for you. Have ypu read the book The Language of the Flowers? It details abuse by foster families. How common is that? Also, are there safety nets for kids after they turn 18? Mentoring programs or financial support or anything? Must be hard when many of them have no one to turn to. [/quote] I've read books by Cathy Glass that are about foster kids who were abused, but no, not that specific book. I don't know tons of other foster families so have no idea how often they're abusing foster kids. We only foster kids who are younger than our kids who are not yet teens. So I don't really know anything about kids aging out of the system. [/quote]
