Pound Pup Legacy

Last year, I posted a continuing thread called The Cost of Living, and it features two adoptees from one website that inspired my desire to start PPL's pages.

When I read a story about an adoptee going to prison, I often think:  What is known about each of the four parent-figures?  Was adoption the best option given to the child who eventually became a prison inmate?

My personal goal here is to initiate an awareness that child placement initiatives involve people, and not all people act or react the same way around strangers as they do among those they live with.  Bad things happen, even to good innocent people. 

If Child Protective Services was created to help damaged or broken families, then the money invested in those programs needs to promote first-family health and safety, not further separation and extended deterioration.  If a mother or father cannot be returned to a child, because of death or real danger, then guardianship needs to be very carefully chosen, because a child's need for love and safety lasts a life-time, without question.

Sex is an act.  Life is the consequence.  I fear not that many people are choosing wisely when it comes to safety and protection.
