May is the month, we nationally recognize foster care, and raise the awareness of teen pregnancy prevention. This weeks focus is on opening up discussion on how the dynamics of foster care and teen pregnancy affect abused children.
I have never experienced living in a foster home, nor ever been a pregnant teen; but I have worked with many who have. It has always been a joy not only experiencing them in a teaching capacity, but also as Godchildren, some of them becoming my family members through adoption, and also adults as friends who lived as foster children growing up.
I’ll begin with a little back history of both foster care and teen pregnancy prevention to give you an idea of how and why they exist.
