Send us a topic idea or question for Weekend Wisdom.
We talk a lot about the child's experience in foster care, but what is this experience like for the child's birth parents? You may be surprised! Join our conversation with Dr. Darcey Merritt, a professor at the University of Chicago School of Social Work who researches this topic.
In this episode, we cover:
- What is a typical scenario, if there is such a thing, of how a parent finds themselves connecting with the child welfare system?
- What rights do parents/birth parents have within the system?
- What are some of the challenges birth parents face before the child is taken into custody?
- What are some of the challenges that they face once the child is in foster care?
- How can you become an ally to the child’s parents?
- How does poverty factor in?
- Who most commonly reports a family to child welfare?
- How does race factor in?
- Research in the area of working memory on parental decision-making.
