HERE!! Have Miko's foster parents fan-design or at least how I see them after seeing that one second of Miko's phone. Now they mine OC's

I get a bit tired of people ignoring their existence in TFP or when they do remember them they say that their the worst just for one thing that Miko said.

I named them Mateo Rossi and Ginerva (Ginev) Rossi. A young married couple that works by selling musical instruments and fixing them too. Ginev used to be in a band as a singer while Mateo helped her band with the technical part.

But when they got older they matured and decided to complete their relationship. Sadly, Ginev found out that she was infertile, making her unable to have children, so they decided to enter the Jasper Nevada High School Exchange Program.

On Monday evening, Tennessee passed a bill allowing parents with “religious or moral beliefs” that being LGBTQ+ is wrong to adopt LGBTQ+ children. This bill could expose these children to harmful practices such as conversion therapy or familial rejection of their gender identity or sexuality. If signed into law, it could also come into conflict with federal rules that require safe placements for LGBTQ youth. The bill now goes to Governor Bill Lee’s desk, amid calls from leading LGBTQ+ organizations for a veto.

Senate Bill 1738, which passed on a party-line vote of 73-20, states that prospective foster parents cannot be required to “affirm, accept, or support” any policy regarding sexual orientation or gender identity if it conflicts with their “religious moral belief.” Furthermore, the bill mandates that non-affirming foster parents have access to LGBTQ+ children for fostering or adoption. It asserts that beliefs “regarding sexual orientation or gender identity… do not create a presumption that any particular placement is contrary to the best interest of the child.”

See the relevant provisions here:

Under this bill, Tennessee would be prohibited from deeming parents unfit for adoption if they reject transgender youth, believing such identities to be sinful. Similarly, the state would be required to allow parents who are religiously or morally opposed to homosexuality to adopt gay children. If a parent believes that conversion therapy through their church can “cure” LGBTQ+ identification, this belief cannot be considered contrary to the best interest of an LGBTQ+ child. The bill risks exposing every LGBTQ+ child in the state to potential religious abuse, conversion therapy, and family rejection.

This could be particularly harmful given the high overrepresentation of LGBTQ+ youth in the foster care system. For example, studies indicate that 30% of youth in the foster care system identify as LGBTQ+, and 5% as transgender. Many of these youth have faced rejection or abuse from their families of origin. They are also more likely to have a history of being subjected to conversion therapy. Placement with new families that subject them to the same harmful practices could have disastrous outcomes. LGBTQ+ youth who are subjected to conversion therapy are more than 2.5 times as likely to report multiple suicide attempts in the previous year.

All The Way Back . . .

Hey! I'm back. Do read 'All The Way Back'... #writer #WritingCommunity

Monday 23 October 2023 I’m here. Again. In that spot where I desperately want to write but I haven’t for a good three months. I worked full-time in Term 3 and writing took a back seat so that I could fulfill my commitment to work. It’s been killing me, slowly, from the inside out. As much as I want to write, I’m finding it beyond impossible to do so. So, I’m attempting to get back into it by…

This foster parent has a stand up comedy routine where she joked about putting her foster children in cages and threatening to physically abuse them. The audience laughed.

I’m realizing more and more that most social workers/case workers don’t just lack a basic understanding of what it means to be a foster parent, they lack the understanding of what it means to parent. Of what it means to raise a child.

Certification in child development should be the base requirement for a CPS/DCFS social worker.

The best workers I’ve ever had? They all had their own kids.

hi! id love to read fics of charles as a foster parent, could you rec some fics? erik as his partner would be nice too. thank you!

Here are some great fics that I think you'll enjoy!

Playing House by ClarkeStetler, Goosenik

Erik Lehnsherr has been 'fighting for mutant rights' for the last couple years. Some might call it terrorism, but those people were narrow-minded. Unfortunately, this means that when Magda Maximoff died, no one was able to locate him to let him know that his children were without a guardian. Charles Xavier was selected as their foster parent instead, and had been doing an excellent job for the past year. Erik is back now and has no intention of being separated from his children, but working together for the kids is easier said than done.

In a different situation— some anonymous bar in some overpopulated city, perhaps— Erik would absolutely have been interested. He was slender and looked about Erik’s age, but his eyes took up the majority of his face and were almost alarmingly blue. His dark curls looked like they were made for a hand to fist in. His anger was nearly palpable, sparking off him in waves that Erik could physically feel. Under any other circumstance, he’d be attracted, would have immediately started things working to get the pretty little Englishman back to his place.

Not this circumstance.

“You will not,” the Brit snarled at Erik, “Not be taking custody of my children.”

Mi Casa es Su Casa by Unrepentant_Marvelite

Angel, a ward of the state for as long as she can remember, has been assigned to a new foster home. Frankly, all she's looking for is some place to be left in peace to shuffle through the rest of her time in the system. It doesn't take her long at the Xavier household though to realize she's never been placed anywhere quite like this before. Whether it's a blessing or a curse, however, remains to be seen.

The Choices That You Make by emperors_girl (series)

Alex is not the kind of kid who lives in houses with white picket fences. Alex is the kind of kid who’s had seven placements in five years. He was never, ever going to be able to stay.

(This series is more focused on Alex and Hank, with Charles and Erik as foster parents.)

Go your seeking, soul by phalangine

In a fit of pique, Erik became a donor at a sperm bank. Years later, through an online site that matches donors to the children born from them, he meets the children and their father, Charles. As much as he wishes he could be more present in their lives, he is happy just to know them. The real trouble is, Erik has feelings for Charles that go beyond the easy friendship the man offers.

(And this one has Charles as the adoptive father of Erik's bio kids - he was a sperm donor - so not exactly what you asked for but it's a great fic and shares similar themes :D)

Here is a new story.

Thanks @tarlosweeklyprompts for this promtp: Prompt #1: Carlos finds an abandoned baby while on patrol

This is my first chapter of something I hope it would be so fluffy and cute.

Acknowledgments: Many thanks also to my betas @chaotictarlos, @morganaspendragonss

Title: Their little girl

Summary: Carlos finds a baby someone has left into a dumpster. He takes her to the hospital, but can't stop thinking about her. His life with TK is perfect, they're married and conversations about kids are on the table, and they are registered as possible foster parents, maybe this is their opportunity

Chapter 01

It had been a long day, a double shift, two teenagers who had been found dead from overdoses and a pounding headache that kept her from thinking clearly. All he could think about was getting a change of clothes, losing sight of her uniform for the next two weeks of vacation and enjoying the time he would finally get to spend with her husband.

Since they had gotten married, they hadn't had much time to be alone. They had spent their last vacation preparing for the wedding and honeymoon. But time had passed and they deserved a few days for the two of them.

He looked at his watch, he only had half an hour left to drive the car back to the police station. In no time he would be free.

He hoped that call would be the last of the day, a store that had been robbed. It was an easy thing to do, take a statement from the store owner, check the security cameras and pass on the report.

It was a small supermarket that had been turned upside down.

"I don't know what that guy was after, but he was very nervous." Said the owner, a gentleman who must have been nearing retirement and from his defeated expression, Carlos figured he would soon sell the store finally. "I told him to take what he wanted, because he had a gun and yes, I have been robbed several times, but usually they are guys who are just looking for money. This guy... I didn't get a good look at his face, but there was something in his eyes. Yeah, what I said, he was desperate to get something he didn't tell me. He just walked away, as if he couldn't or wouldn't tell me what he needed."

Carlos took note of everything the man said. He was almost certain they wouldn't find the thief as long as he didn't steal again in the next few days. But the man seemed to stay calm with his work and that put his mind at ease.

"Do you know where the thief went?"

"I didn't want to pay too much attention to him so he wouldn't come back and get mad at me. But I saw him go out into the alley, where I keep the trash cans."

Carlos reassured him that he was going to look, although neither of them had any hope of finding the thief or any clues. He said goodbye and headed for the alley, hoping to finish the shift as soon as possible.

As he had thought, the alley was empty and he certainly had no desire to start opening containers to look for whatever the thief had taken or any clue.

A sudden noise caught his attention. It had to be nothing more than a cat or rat that had gotten caught in a dumpster when the lid had been closed. He was going to let it go because he was tired and didn't want to waste time or have a stray animal jump in his face.

But the noise was repeated and this time he realized it sounded more like a whimper or the soft cry of a newborn.

He stopped where he was to pay attention and check if it repeated itself again. Nothing happened for a moment and as he was about to leave, he heard it again and now he knew where it was coming from.

He heard it to his left, it came from a half-open container and it certainly sounded like a baby's whimper. He pulled out his gun, he had no intention of shooting a human creature or a cat jumping over his shoulder, but he preferred to be forewarned.

He reached over and opened the lid of the container.

Oh, man. What can I say?

Our foster sons went home Friday. I’m happy for them. Truly. I believe long term they’ll do better being with their family. Still, I don’t know how to hold this grief.

It’s a big, hollow thing inside of me that I haven’t quite found the edges of yet. It’s still numb. I can tell that, once I feel it, it will hurt like hell. Right now though, I’m still trying to determine how bad the wound is.

It doesn’t feel quite real. There’s little things here and there - G’s step stool he used to reach the sink. Hand prints on the wall. J’s high chair, with his half-finished pancakes still sitting there.

I keep starting, as if I’ve forgotten something. Did I forget to bring them to school? Did I not leave to pick them up from daycare?

It will get better, like all things, with time. I’m just trying to catch my breath in the meantime.

And I wish they hadn't left two days before Mother's Day.

whenever right wing people talk about “parental rights” they are talking about property rights. they are arguing for further political and legal enshrinement of their children as their literal actual property

#I also wonder if this is like a middle class expression of a desire to shore up other property rights eg homeownership #like homeownership is a foundation base for the nuclear family. property rights allow you to own the resource #that produces the family and allows it to be ‘private’ #so like children are another frontier of this property relationship #anyway. bad time to be a trans person lol #& all the actual legitimate issues w/ parental rights ie indigenous genocide forced sterilisation mass incarceration the foster system etc #are not even remotely concerns for these people because well. they’re fash lol
