The Hidden Struggles of Forgotten Children
Self-Blame
Children in foster care blame themselves for their situation. They blame themselves for breaking up the family and being removed from them.
Unwanted
Some children may only be in foster care for a couple days, while other children can spend years in and out of foster care. These kids develop feelings of being unwanted, especially if they are transferred to different foster homes throughout the years.
Attachment Issues
Being taken from abusive families and then moved around to different foster homes can make children have attachment issues. They may want to build relationships with their foster families, but are unsure how long they will be there.
