I would love to join a site that encourages change in the system. This site seems like a bunch of bitter name calling and finger pointing. I don't see anyone supporting that cause. People neeed a plan, strenth and diplomacy."<br /><br />Actually, despite the fact that my child died as a result of being in the system. And, by the way, I am a white, middle-class, professional who at no time ever caused harm to my child or placed my child at risk, but only came to the system due to the fact that my child was born with disability. It was the Government who came to ME and offered support and services, but stipulated that I must surrender guardianship to offer my child the best opportunity at survival because as a natural parent, support would not be allotted to us, but only to out of home foster placement!<br /><br />Still, despite those tragic and dire circumstances, my Advocacy has focused entirely on the importance of Family-Centred Care. I have not reacted vengefully, nor negatively at any time - though I easily could - I refuse to do so because I celebrate the life of my child and the most productive way to do so is to ensure change! While Amendment to Policy falls short of protecting my child any longer, it can mean the difference between life and death, security for other vulnerable children.<br /><br />You are incorrect when you state your opinion because I have been successful in challenging Policy and having this Amended in my 'little part of the world' and I will continue to do so with the goal of expanding into larger portions so that similar Legislation is across the Nation. <br /><br />Do not underestimate the will of a determined (natural) mother!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
