There Are No Bad Kids

This book was written as a result of the author and his wife spending several years providing for kids who needed a home. There are many, many books written on the subject of "at risk" children and/or foster children.

The book describes how the foster parent feels about raising foster children (and birth children). He relates from the experiences of a foster dad rather than from a clinical slant. The information, of course, applies to birth children, as well. Much information is presented to assist parents in dealing with the problems of puberty. Case studies are included as well as poems from one of the foster girls and a diary from another foster parent about her dealings with two foster children.
The sequel to this book is entitled: 'Never Underestimate the Arrogance or Stupidity of Government' and covers a case in which we sued Child Protective Services for mistreatment of foster parents and a foster child.
