I mean, this would be awesome if they weren’t already required to provide transportation by federal law 🤦‍♀️ bridgemi.com/michigan-health…

Just downloaded @WhovaSupport App for this week’s @REFCAtreehouse Conference created by lived-experience #fostercare leaders! Surprised to see so many #childwelfare scholars sitting this one out, but can’t wait to network with those who are there 💙

I don’t think anyone said it was magic. But it sure sounds like a bad initiative when it’s presented as if we expect it to fix all of foster care’s problems. [Narrator: Advocates already know that it won’t. It’s just one intervention/idea]

College is not magic. Universities cannot make up for 13 years of bad schools or parents who don’t even bother sending their kids to school on a regular basis. deseret.com/2023/9/25/238830… @AEI @IWF

I’m hesitant to even link to something so disingenuous. But I’m happy to engage in a conversation about why I’m so passionate about college access work.

Looks like @PhilaParking just ticketed the whole 2300 block of Christian for street cleaning even tho it’s not a marked/signed block! Yikes.

I find similar reporting happening with all types of #ChildWelfare matters. What you read in the public media is often a gross misrepresentation of what CPS, foster care, or system involvement actually is.

This article is a great example on how the @nytimes coverage of Indigenous issues doesn’t meet the basic standards of journalism. This article grossly misrepresents what happened in the underlying custody cases and the people behind the lawsuit.

Interesting to see a whole child welfare system admit that a 12 year experiment in privatization did not work for children and families.

A @PennMedicine comedy: Make [my 4th] call about an incorrect bill. Volunteer to take customer survey. Wonderful rep can’t fix the fact that my PCP visit is being billed as a specialist visit. Receive survey callback…that promptly crashes. Sneaky way to avoid the feedback!

My small soap box of today:
"I have two children of my own" shows once again how adoption becomes a misunderstood feel-good talking point.
If you adopt a child, they are your own now too. (But since you wouldn't actually feel that way, I guess I'm glad you "weren't able to.")

Asking people with a “choose adoption” sign if they chose to adopt.

May is actually #NationalFosterCareMonth and I'm put off by the diversion of awareness-raising for foster care issues in general to praise for foster parents. childwelfare.gov/fostercarem…
May is Foster Parent Appreciation Month, a time to honor a celebrate thousands of foster families across the state providing temporary safe care for children, as well as encourage Illinoisians to become foster families. bit.ly/3ycvt9U

Two tweets from me in one day! But this is too exciting not to share. I love working on projects that can help improve foster care services.

"In the agreement, @CSSPhiladelphia agreed to post a warning that it doesn't work with same-sex couples." Only for foster parents, right? It will still have to work towards reunification with LGBTQ people and work the case plans for LGBTQ kids, RIGHT?
