Looking Down on Foster Kids

5/25/2015

Welcome back to Taylor Talks!

I'd like to start out by saying thank you to everyone who stops by to read my posts each night! You are all so amazing, and I really appreciate the support! In less than four months (since I switched over to this website from the old one), I have hit 3,000 unique visitors on the site, and over 21,000 individual page views!

Now, back to what I was actually going to write tonight... I was actually thinking about some misconceptions associated with foster care. I'm not sure if I've ever written about it, but I was thinking about the fact that people will actually look down on foster kids as if they were the ones who did something wrong.

Many foster children, especially those who are school-age and exposed to teasing, are made to feel bad about themselves for being in foster care. They are made to feel unwanted, unloved, or as if they did something terrible to be made to live with a foster family.

Actually, children in foster care have done absolutely nothing wrong. Their biological parents have abused or neglected these children in some way, making them unfit parents. These kids have been the victims; they have suffered through situations in their homes, have then been removed from the only home and family they've ever known, and placed with a family of complete strangers. They can't be blamed for their situations, and they shouldn't be made to feel like outcasts in society because of something that they have had no control over.

I'm only eight people away from hitting 100 likes on my Facebook author page! I'd really love it if you would support my writing career by taking a few seconds and liking the page yourself. Thanks so much!

I’d greatly appreciate it if you would share this blog with friends and family through your favorite social media sites. If you’re sharing on Twitter, don’t forget to tag me (@TayTayK02) and use the hashtag #TaylorTalks.

Thanks!
Taylor

    About

    Picture
    My family started doing foster care when I was three years old. We took in nineteen children over the course of eighteen years, with our last placement leaving in December 2014. I'm the only biological child in my family, though my parents adopted five of my siblings.

    I love to share my perspective on the foster care system and share how my unique upbringing shaped my life.

    I'm also a Cast Member at Walt Disney World and lover of all things Disney! My career allows me the opportunity to find a little bit of Magic in life every day.


    I enjoy sharing my journey as a writer as well. Find my children's books on Amazon and keep following my blog for updates on future books that I'll be releasing!
