"My name is Taylor, and my parents have been doing #fostercare since I was just 3 years old. Now, I’m 21, just graduated college, and I have a lifetime of memories to look back on with a never-ending rotation of children in and out of my house." ow.ly/Ukzn50uR5c8

An interesting proposal for establishing a means of accountability and certification using #blockchain tech in #Fostercare from @DrSchwandt. With the patchwork of regs and laws around foster care in the USA, its use may provide needed digital paper trails to ensure safety.

Sometimes, there’s such a negative stigma that’s attached to being in a same-sex relationship. It’s very important to us that we present a different, positive side of our lives. We treat our kids like anybody else…” gayparentmag.com @Terrell_Jarius_

We’ve been reflecting on the pathologizing of adaptive survival behaviours, and thought we would make a resource about it! Download for free here: bit.ly/2rrCnoM

.@DrSchwandt takes aim at the conventional wisdom around foster care with his usual incisive flair:
Parents Need to Go Into #FosterCare, Not the Children - "Why do we assume a child should be placed in foster care if a parent is no longer capable of caring for a child?" @NACAC bit.ly/ParentFoster
"Working For #SocialJustice - The Ethics & Core Values of #SocialWork" is now available to watch streaming on @vimeo. $10 one-week rental. A great resource to inspire future #socialworkers, or re-energize those in the field who need a lift. vimeo.com/ondemand/workingfo… #socialwork

This is unbelievably cruel and infuriating. Their rationale smacks of fear and hypocrisy. lgbtqnation.com/2018/05/bill… #Kansas #LGBTQ #adoption #gayadoption #buildafamily
