Good Bye Baby Venus written by Danielle F. W. Mansfield and has been published by University Press of America this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 1993 with Family & Relationships categories.

Told in narrative form, this book chronicles the experience of the author, who is also a social worker, when she becomes a foster parent in hopes of providing abused children with the care and nurturing an overburdened social worker cannot supply. The author records the children's arrival, adjustment, acting out of abuse and abandonment issues, and their eventual painful departure. Mansfield painfully records the unsupportive network upon which her family and the foster children must depend for communication with the social service system. The book affords a personal look at the lives of three abused children, the effects of child abuse on their personality development, and the dismal failure of the foster care system to meet their emotional or physical needs.

Kimberly Kincaid, sixteen, had to move from the Delta town of Crossroads when her father died in a logging accident, but when Venus Bolton, all-state center on the Crossroads championship basketball team dies giving birth, Kimberly insists in going to her funeral even though she has no car. "Hot" Haliday, carefree, strong, and basically good, gladly takes her in his Z-300 to Sweet Lily Church. Kimberly, the point guard on the basketball team sees her many admirers. She is blessed not only with physical beauty, but with a kind heart, high morals, courage, and common sense. As Venus requested, Kimberly sang "Precious Memories." Afterwards, she confronts the father of Venus' baby boy and cows him down. Then, Kimberly and "Hot" visit Vicki, Kimberly's sister, who struggles to put food on the table for her and her child, born out of wedlock. "Hot" vows that he will return with Kimberly, and he will force some big changes in Crossroads.

Another Mother written by Sarah Gerstenzang and has been published by Vanderbilt University Press this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2007 with Family & Relationships categories.

One night after midnight social workers brought a baby girl to the author's home, and her life as a foster mother began. A social worker herself, Gerstenzang discovered that raising Cecilia, deespite all the personal joys, would be a complex and frustrating process of "co-parenting" with the foster care system in New York City. Foster parents are in great demand, but they are not necessarily treated well. We follow the author through the home visits, the Early Intervention evaluation, the WIC program that (with much bureaucratic hassle) provides free formula and cereal, and the mandatory parenting training sessions. She comments, "When Michael and I became foster parents, we learned how stigmatizing, demoralizing, and just plain inconvenient and time-consuming being part of the 'unentitled' population can be. With the exception of Early Intervention, we often felt that the programs were more concerned with regulating our behavior than with providing services." Regular meetings with the birth family were also part of the process. Not only were they awkward for all concerned, but each visit involved a commute of several hours. One social worker admitted that she preferred a foster parent who didn't work because that person could more easily comply with the time-consuming regulations. Sarah and her husband Michael also agonize over complying with special regulations about hiring babysitters or traveling ("anytime we left New York State we needed to ask the agency's permission, which in turn had to get the signed consent from the birth mother"). Central to Another Mother is the issue of transracial placement. Sarah remembers, "That first day the contrast between my pale skin and Cecilia's brown skin seemed glaring. Not only did I feel that I had someone else's child, I felt that I had a child from another culture. Would I owe someone an explanation?" (Gerstenzang is recalling the 1972 opposition of the National Association of Black Social Workers.) Her account is full of anecdotes and reflections about race: acceptance and prejudice from others; the feelings of her two children about having a sibling of a different race; and culture keeping, beginning with skin and hair care.
