(Sigh) Where to start? A month ago I received a phone call from my Mom regarding my niece and nephew. There had been an altercation and she was driving to pick them up. It was late and I was tired. Over the phone, we decided that she would take my niece home with her and my nephew would stay with me, my husband and our son for the night. The following day, I drove both boys to school. I had to go in to my nephew's school to work out details regarding a class trip that was happening that days... Can we talk about kinship care ..read more

My spouse and I adopted our children several years ago. We've not reached out to other Fost/Adopt families, but I am now in need of connecting with other mothers. I am of "Advanced Maternal Age" as they say. We are not raising our kids religiously and are lacking a support system. I thought I would reach out, here, and see if there are any other families out there like ours. We are in Oregon, but please don't let that keep you from responding. Online support and friendship is wonderful... Isolated Secular Fost/Adopt Mother in Oregon ..read more

Hello, My name is Sarah Jones, and I'm a university student working on a research project that examines the effects of substance abuse on the foster care system.
