hey are young adults who have been through a lot in their lives, but now, they’re working to help other children in foster care.

The Adoption Network Cleveland hosted an event Wednesday night at John F. Kennedy High School. They were trying to raise awareness and recruit foster and adoptive parents.

Representative Marcia Fudge, from Ohio’s 11th Congressional District, was on hand to learn more about the program. Several panelists spoke at the event, including young adults who used to be in the foster care system. One of the speakers, Kevinee Gilmore, went into foster care when she was just 13-years-old.

She lived in 13 different places until she left foster care when she was 18. Kevinee then says she attended college, not because people encouraged her to do so, but because she needed a place to live. But, when holiday breaks rolled around, she was homeless again. She either lived in her car or lied to get into shelters. Kevinee finally graduated from Cleveland State University last August with a degree in Social Work.

During her college career, she even interned in Senator John Kerry’s office. Kevinee is now hoping to turn her passion about foster care into a career.

I am a student in taking a child psychology course and I have to conduct a survey, I would really appreciate your help.If you can answer one or all of the questions, that would be great.

Questions:
-What parenting style did your parents use when you where a adolescent? (authoritarian, authoritative, permissive, neglectful)
-Compare and contrast the style that you are using with your adolescent to the one that you experienced when you where an adolescent.
-Why is your style the same or different from that of your parent’s?

This would be better in the Parenting section. We in the Adolescent section are mainly teenagers.

Does he?

Oh sigh.

Obama and I love him, has proclaimed that he feels more needs to be done regarding job training, life skills training, education opportunities for those children aging-out of foster care….That the federal government needs to offer the $$ and the opportunities……

…but alas, let’s see:
economic depression VS foster care issues
war VS foster care issues
mortgage crisis VS foster care issues
unemployment VS foster care issues
Israel/Gaza Strip VS foster care issues

get my drift?
From a federal standpoint, it will be ALONG time, not the fault of Obama, but because of what he has "to clean up."

Sigh……

Russian law allows foreign nationals to adopt Russian orphans.But there is a catch: only children with birth defects and incurable medical conditions may be adopted. Adopting Olya is the story of one such Adoption.

Four-year-old Olya has lived in the Children’s Home in Chelyabinsk all her life. She has been diagnosed with a vague “developmental disability.” Olya knows her future American family only from a little photo album.
