Which article are you evaluating?
Foster care

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article because I feel like it left out a really important part of when it comes to disability among children in foster care. This article is strong and talks about the effects of foster care but children with disabilities need to be acknowledged too. Children with disabilities are often neglected and never fostered nor adopted. Even children with less severe disabilities are also not really fostered and adopted and it is something that needs to be discussed. When something is not discussed it can not be fixed.

Evaluate the article
The article begins with informing the reader what foster care is and then what it looks like in each country. Abuse and negligence is talked about in this article and it is something that is big in foster care. It talks about strong points and the problems in foster care yet they still leave out those with disabilities as no one wants to talk about it. I want to add into the article this topic as I feel it fits well because it talks about the effects of foster care and the devastating consequences that can occur for those who are not ever adopted or fostered at all. These stats are for the kids without disabilities so it would fit in perfectly to add this to the article.
