This story hit home for me, given my job.  I wish communities would understand the turmoil children endure going through the system, (not that it is the system's fault). It doesn't matter who is wrong or right, the children are the ones who are left to sort things out emotionally.  I wish society would recognize the resiliance and strength of those in foster care, rather than continue to point fingers.  The focus should be on the best interest of the children.  How do I get a copy of this soundclick?  I would love to present it at a company division meeting.  Thank you for your time and efforts.

TAKE BACK MOTHER’S DAY

MARCH AND PROTEST
May 14th 2006 at 15 Huntley Street at 2:00pm

For most Canadians, Mother’s Day is a time when families honor their mother’s hard work. But for many of low income families find that on Mother’s Day, peace and joy is in very short supply, especially now that more than 30,000 of their youngsters languish in foster homes.

We did not lose our children because of abuse, rather we lost our children because of poverty, lack of affordable adequate housing, being single, being young, having a child with special needs, being in recovery from substance abuse issues, having survived an abusive partner, or having worked in the Adult Entertainment Industry.

Silenced for decades by shame and guilt, we suffered alone with our grief, believing that we were the only ones. Now we find that we are not alone. Mother’s Day began as a day to honor the public activism of mothers. It began in 1870 because mother’s declared that they would not lose their child
