It’s World Wide Wednesday! Here’s what’s news in the world of foster care and adoption around the web:
- The Reality of Child Sex Trafficking and Foster Children
- An Online Space for Youth in Foster Care
The Think of Us Storyboard Project encourages youth to share their stories through written formats and visual media, such as video. The program also includes workshops and coaching to show youth how to effectively tell their stories, as well as a school-to-work curriculum that helps youth develop and strengthen their interview skills. - Who, or What, Is In the Best Interest of This Foster Child?
“After more than eight months in our care, BlueJay’s future is starting to sharpen slightly into focus. Or rather, the number of possible futures are narrowing down.” - Black Goes with Everything: On White Parents Adopting Black Children
“The mindset that this black child is no different from any other child is a naiveté the adoptive parent cannot afford, and for which the adopted child will pay.”
