The families in this book all have one thing in common. They are unable to fulfill the family function of raising their own children. (Geiser)
Today reading a good find from a local Goodwill, I challenge everyone to read books dating back before 2000’s, we assume that “modern” is more current or relatable. But really we made advancements in many aspects of our economies, and sometimes even with hybrid policies within the US, in regards to family and structure. However most of todays ebooks and fast tracked copy and paste or integration of ideas is becoming bland and empty. This book, based on first skim gives raw, real, and non-politically correct data. This author was not in fear of repercussion, canceling, or misjudgment. He did his fieldwork, studied, organized the data, wrote what he found, you be the judge. I have a deep wound in my heart for foster children, I believe all children should have loving parents, and if unable to, a loving parent, if parents are unavailable, a loving family member or an alternative loving milieu. As a child welfare social worker, I often times was in trials for situations that had solutions, If I had enough time, I was able to remedy and advocate as much as possible, most of the time decisions were already made and a families case already had a predetermined route you could not stop, but go along with the motions.
