... Please go away and never, ever set foot in a topic about children again. Seriously. That is disgusting.
Yes, contraception of all sorts would help in regards to unwanted children. But many, many, many of the children in foster care are actually wanted, but because of mental illness, addiction issues, family issues, or many other issues, their home and/or parents/guardians becomes unsafe. Some of these people probably shouldn't have children, but would not choose contraception even if it was freely available to them.
I am pro-choice, but that's just a disgusting way to phrase this.
Anyway, the foster care system is struggling with a huge lack of resources and caring people who want to be involved. I am hoping to become a foster parent sometime soon, and have already begun attending educational events put on by the foster care system in my county. These statistics only further encourage me to do this, and I believe more good people need to step forward and do it, too. If more people were proactively involved in the system, it wouldn't be so easy for things like this to go unnoticed for so long. This breaks my heart.
