10 Most Surprising Things You Can't Do With FOSTER CARE Kids

These 10 foster care rules & foster parent rules shock most people - who wrongly assume foster families generally make the rules that foster care children live by. Foster care children growing up in foster care homes are subject to more rules than most kids. In my foster care experience, it sometimes happened that a foster care family inadvertently upsets the foster care process by making a decision they weren't actually empowered to make. These top 10 most surprising things you can't do with foster care kids are all based on real foster care problems that have happened to someone somewhere. They are not intended to provide legal info or an explanation of child welfare policies. #FosterCare #DiverseFamilies #CreatorsForChange 0:00 Weird Rule 1 0:09 Intro 1:16 Hair Cuts & Piercing Rules 2:17 Sleepovers & Camps 2:33 Photos & Social Media 3:21 School Newsletters & Traditional Media 4:26 Dangerous Sports & Hobbies 5:03 Team & Lesson Commitments 5:31 Moving House 6:25 Travelling & Passport Rules 6:57 Co-sleeping & Bed Sharing 7:24 Allowable Name Changes & Titles DESTINY CALLS: Amy’s cosy corner of the internet started by a total quirk of fate! Amy is an Australian single mother by choice who unwittingly dropped into 21st century technology by accidentally launching a family channel www.youtube.com/LuckyFortune8Family which now has over 100K subscribers. BACKGROUND: Amy had an only child for nearly 9 years before giving birth to 4 more children within 2.5 years. In addition to her own 3 sons and 2 daughters - which include 2 sets of twins - Amy fostered 20 children over 7 years, including twins and sibling groups - before her own boy/girl twins were born. Before being formally, medically retired by the Medical Assessment Tribunal (in March 2014), Amy worked in child care (4 years), created/delivered professional development level courses in behaviour management philosophies & strategies (3 years), plus worked in public schools (2 years), and the child protection sector (8 years). Whilst Amy is permanently, medically unable to resume her prior profession, she believes her years of raising children plus working with child clients and their families enables her to provide useful, generalised information in YouTube's pre-recorded format.
