Foster Care has its ups and downs. Children who live with their parents are very lucky. Many foster chilren end up in foster care because of their parents irresponsible decisions. The children pay for their parents mistakes. An example of an "up" in foster care is that they provide homes, care, love, education for the underprivledged children. A down would be that the children end up in a foster home because their parent's bad decsions. In some cases, the parents have to put their children in foster care because, they are young and they can't afford taking care of their child, the women may have been raped and had no choice.

CST # 7 Care for God's Creation

Care for God’s Creation
We show our respect for the Creator by our stewardship of creation. Care for the earth is not just an earth day slogan; it is a requirement of our faith. We are called to protect people and the planet, living our faith in relationship with God’s creation. The foster care system relates to taking care of God’s creation because he created us in his image and likeness. So taking care of his creation in the foster care system would be the same thing. Love the children who are in the system as if they were your own children. Give them the attention they need that their birthparents were unable to give. By showing foster children love and attention, it makes them feel wanted. Even though they might have been abused growing up, it still shows “care for God’s creation” when foster children are loved.
