Odd that the Pride trainer did not now this. The first study is from the National Adoption Center and the second is by several well-known and respected researchers.Arthur Becker-Weidman, PhDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12336450524735140641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3806769192871730293.post-80552290545784940612009-08-06T22:05:43.425-04:002009-08-06T22:05:43.425-04:00Well said.

When the topic of RAD came up, the trainer (who was a social worker) told the class that they would not come across RAD kids in foster care. She said if they had RAD they would be in an institution! I was outraged! I tried to explain that I KNEW OF KIDS IN THE SYSTEM IN FOSTER CARE WITH A RAD DX. She just shook her head. It was as though that ugly truth needed to be hidden or we might scare away potential foster homes. <br />I PRAY for the day when our family is financially stable again and in our own home so I can be a foster parent again and do my part. One child, one family at a time. The system has it's flaws, but at the heart of it there are people who care. People who will walk to the ends of the earth to help a child that may not even be in their home for very long, a child who may not even remember them. <br />But I remember them ALL. Every single child I have cared for, no matter how short the time period, they are in my heart forever.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02295714433164887820noreply@blogger.com
