"In an instant, the child goes from being a family member to being a memory."

 While reading "Through the Eyes of a Foster Mom" I began to think of all of the children in the world that have been adopted, fostered, or even left to fend for their lives. I think the most intriguing thing about the article is the lack of concern for the child’s needs. The social worker was more concerned with her own problems rather than the feelings of the child (Dan). I feel that it is important to think of all aspects of a situation when it comes to being a social worker simply because of the fragility of a child’s heart. It was not only heartbreaking to read that Dan became attached to his new family but it is even more upsetting to read that the child went from being a member of the family to a memory. This article displays what it is like in the life of a foster child and it also shows one of the many feelings that they have to endure. Reading this article allows me to see how blessed I truly am and how essential it is to help others in their time of need.
