As a reminder, this month you will see all kinds of heartwarming love stories of heroic foster care providers who open their hearts and homes to children in need. You will see a few of the 2% who make it to college or onto a successful life or whatever occasional success story they come across. You will see dinners honoring the Angels of Mercy who help kids, and a few names will be pulled out of the hat and named Foster Parent of the Year!
What you will not see is the needed efforts to stop families from being torn apart unnecessarily when they could be helped or what would be needed to stop abuse in the foster care system.
It's all about perception people. If they can make it look good, the normal people buy it.
