My Flesh and Blood (2003)
Fostering
I am a foster mother of special needs children and, trust me, it is no walk in the park. This documentary was suggested to me because of some issues we are having with a foster child right now. It changed the way that I looked at my situation. This mother is the most giving, comforting mom I have seen.
I suggest this movie to anyone, especially if you are fostering. It covers so many topics that we deal with every day such as dealing with social workers, medical issues, attitudes towards children and giving children a normal life style regardless of set-backs for them.
And, to anyone who mentions that she exploits these children, you are crazy. She gave every child the choice to have their story told and the stories you see are the only ones that accepted that. Also, the director reached out to her about this project - not the opposite. Anyone in foster care knows that you do this for the kids, not for the money.
Thank you to everyone who participated in this project. It will never be forgotten.
