This unit consists of six topics dealing with birth and foster parents as resources, shared parenting, and rethinking the practice of concurrent planning in the context of a search for permanent family connections.
Topics
4.1 All Parenting is Shared � Birth parents, foster parents, grandparents as
well as adoptive parents, all are real parents. Attempts to replace one or
deny the other are destructive to the children.
4.2 All Parents are Resources � We need to help children hold onto the
good, loving qualities of their birth parents without hiding or minimizing
the reality of their shortcomings.
4.3 The Challenge of Shared Parenting � If it isn�t shared parenting,
then it�s a tug of war with the child
4.4 Adoption is Shared Parenting � Adoptive parents learn that they have
not so much changed a child�s family as extended it in another direction
4.5 Rethinking Concurrent Planning � Concurrent planning can be
shared parenting.
4.6 Re-valuing Foster Parenting � We claim to honor foster parents, but
as often as not we condemn them when they aren�t perfect.
