Family Matters !!

Family! Almost everyone has one. With out them what would we have? For all of us who are lucky to have mothers and fathers and all of are extended family we really don't think about those who don't. Im talking about the children in foster care who don't have a home or family to call there own. As of 2005 their were approximately 513,000 children in foster care in the United States. Thats roughly 7 out of every 1000 American children. 54% of those children earn a high school diploma, 2% earn a Bachelors degree or higher. 84% become parents to soon, exposing their children to a repeated cycle of neglect and abuse. Another 51% are unemployed, 30% have no health insurance, and 30% receive public assistance. If people would show these children as much love and support that our families show us there would be no problems  with children being un loved. Then there would be more children graduating from high school and then later on collage. All this crazy world we call home needs is love and support.
