I am just struck by the fact that things are happening so fast in our modern world. This calls for more willingness to be open to new options and new ways to approach old issues. We have to find effective ways to fight Toffler's future shock. Good thoughts. I am just struck by the fact that things are happening so fast in our modern world.

It is a continuation of our current assumption that mothers are automatically more qualified as parents. I do agree with the 'pay to play attitude' namely that either parent must maintain equitable financial responsibility in order to maintain the privilege of parenting. When we become more socially supportive of fathers, especially those who stay home while their partner or spouse (including wives) work then we can see a significant improvement in the attitudes of men toward such an opportunity. Moreover marriage, an institution under which all members of our society do not receive equal treatment, is not a reasonable prerequisite and does not equate to better parenting. We also need to address the entire foster care program and improve the ability of qualified parent to adoptive. Until adoption becomes more reasonably available to qualified adults permanent families for these children will remain illusive. The focus on returning children to the biological parent and the money involved between the State and Federal agencies, States have little incentive to place children in adoptive homes and the time and money involved is prohibitive for possible parents.

In case you missed it, Senator Barbara Boxer, D-CA, together with Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton are going to submit the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child to the U. S. Senate for ratification and it is expected to pass this first stage of the process of implementing the articles of the convention. I should have updated this post some time ago.
