Foster Care
“Nobody’s Children”
• “Without the filter of good parenting, the
immediate environment and broader social
milieu exert their destructive influences
unchallenged.”
• Foster youths personal identity achievement is
adversely affected.
• Positive racial identity is impaired, stable and
healthy total identity is extremely unlikely.”
