There is a great need for more foster carers in the UK. The lack of foster carers means that children who need foster homes have less choice about where they might live, often meaning they are not fostered near to their families and schools. In recent years, foster care organisations have recruited more and more foster carers from ethnic minorities, single foster carers and non-heterosexual foster carers.  

However, Disabled people do not seem to have been reached out to as potential foster carers. This research study set out to explore why Disabled people have not been recruited, especially as many would be likely to have the types of skills that fostering requires. 

In this episode, Peter Unwin and Becki Meakin discuss their research into the underrepresentation of disabled people as foster carers, highlighting the systemic barriers and stereotypes that prevent their inclusion. They outline how fostering agencies can better recruit and support disabled carers through inclusive practices, training, and a shift away from deficit-based thinking.

2007 katapultierte Juno Elliot Page (damals noch Ellen Page) auf die Hollywood-A-Liste. Der Film war mehrfach Oscar-nominiert und ein großer Erfolg für Regisseur Jason Reitman, Sohn von Ghostbusters-Director Ivan Reitman. Was wir heutzutage über Juno denken, ob der Film wirklich all das Lob verdient hat oder er sich nicht doch bloß als nette Hintergrundberieselung eignet, klären wir im Podcast.

Adopting a baby does not always go to plan

Adoption

The Third Commandment is easily misunderstood. It's not just about avoiding profanity; it's about how we carry God's name in the world. The Hebrew meaning of 'take' actually implies 'carry' or 'bear' - we are called to be God's representatives. This commandment challenges us to consider: Are we truly embodying God's character in our daily lives? The Israelites' story serves as a cautionary tale, reminding us of the consequences of misrepresenting God. We're invited to reflect on how we might be using God's name in vain, not through our words, but through our actions and attitudes. This message urges us to align our lives with God's will, moving beyond mere religious activities to a genuine, transformative relationship with our Creator.

A song about being aware of the deceptions of the Devil telling everyone that we're ALL Gods Children when The Holy Bible says it's through adoption - Many thinking they are ok when they aren't even in the same ball park.  You MUST be born again according to Gods Word.

-This song is dedicated to the adoption of my son


hey, my little guy, I wonder what you’ll be like one day
when your big and tall you’ll have it all, you’ll have it all, 'cause  

a stork brought me a Joey, and I’m gonna be his daddy
he'll walk like me and he'll talk like me, and 
I’m gonna teach him everything 
like what it means to be a good man  
it’s a big responsibility, and
always lead a girl by the hand when she needs to cross the street

hey, you’re safe with me, you’ll always be my baby boy
when you came to me in your time of need, in your time need  
I promised I would be there anytime that you need me there

a stork brought me a Joey, and I’m gonna be his daddy
and we’ll watch football on the TV rooting for our favorite team  
while we grub on mama's home cooking, it truly is the greatest thing 
so don’t be scared little Joey, this is your family 

a stork brought me a Joey, and I’m gonna be his daddy
he'll walk like me and he'll talk like me, and 
I’m gonna teach him everything 
like what it means to be a good man  
it’s a big responsibility, and
always lead a girl by the hand when she needs to cross the street, my little Joey
