The social justice issue I have decided to use for the Annotated Bibliography project is foster care.

Some questions I have are how does foster care affect a child’s development ? how are kids impacted by the experience of being in foster care? why does the government fail many young children and teenagers who are in foster care ?

In my research I found that being in foster care for a long amount of time could make the child depressed, have poor social skills or even have negative behaviors. Some foster parents could be the best parents the kid ever experience while others could be a living hell for them. Sometimes foster care doesn’t mess up a child’s mental health, it’s mostly from the things they had to deal with at home before they were put into the system.
