#adoptiveparent
As a #relative #kinship #adoptiveparent this is absolutely dehumanizing to #fosteryouth and all #adoptees. Children experiencing crisis situations and external care never deserve being made the punchlines of such terrible "jokes". Do better. This is inexcusable.

It’s the #firstdayofspring, but it’s also #wontyoubemyneighbor day!

Being a good neighbor is about community. Whether you’re an incredible #socialworker, a #mentor, a #foster or #adoptiveparent, a #volunteer, or a community champion #donating to our cause...YOUR support makes a difference. 🌟

As #adoptiveParent I've not given kids schools permission to include them in photos on website etc.; but this results in fairly blunt being pushed out of group photos etc.. Feels like there should be guidance for school on handling this more sensitively - but I've not found anything. Any pointers?
