This document discusses opportunities for farmers to sell their products directly to schools and institutions in North Dakota. It outlines the potential market size, key considerations for farmers in setting up procurement relationships with schools, and contact information for organizations that can help connect farmers to the farm-to-school market in North Dakota.
The document discusses values, needs, and wants and how they influence financial decisions. It defines values as things that are desirable, influenced by others, and guide daily choices. Needs are necessities for life like food and shelter, while wants are unnecessary but desired items. Values shape perceptions of what people need and want. How people spend money depends on whether they value helping others or acquiring possessions.
Child labor was common in American history, especially in agriculture and industry. Children as young as 7 worked long hours in dangerous conditions in textile mills, mines, and other factories. They worked 11-12 hours days, sometimes up to 18 hours, 6 days a week for low pay of around $1 per week. Child laborers faced physical abuse, injuries, and even death on the job from accidents and machinery. Forms of punishment for children included being weighted down or dragged naked from their beds to enforce strict work schedules.

This document provides an analysis of the Adoption and Safe Families Act (ASFA) of 1997 and its impact on African American families and children in the child welfare system. It summarizes that while ASFA aimed to promote child safety and permanency, it has disproportionately affected African American families by increasing the number of African American children in foster care and expediting the termination of parental rights. The document analyzes national statistics that show African American children are overrepresented in the foster care system compared to their percentage of the general population. It argues that ASFA has not adequately considered the role of racism and poverty in disproportionately affecting African American families within the child welfare system.

Child Care in America:
Every week in the United States, child care providers care for nearly 11
million children younger than age 5 whose parents are working. On
average, these children spend 36 hours a week in child care, and one
quarter (nearly 3 million) are in multiple child care arrangements due to
the traditional and nontraditional working hours of their parents.1
Research has continually illustrated the importance of quality early
experiences in achieving good health, especially within the most
vulnerable populations. Families, child care providers and state and
federal policymakers share responsibility for the safety and wellbeing
of children while they are in child care settings. Basic state
requirements and oversight help lay the foundation necessary to
protect children and promote their healthy development while in child
care.
The Child Care and Development Block Grant (CCDBG) program
serves approximately 1.45 million children annually in communities
across the country. CCDBG is the primary federal grant program that
provides child care assistance for families and funds child care quality
initiatives. Funds are administered to states in formula block grants,
and states use the grants to subsidize child care for low-income
working families.
In November 2014, President Barack Obama signed S.1086, the Child
Care and Development Block Grant Act of 2014 into law. The new law
includes several measures focused on quality, including requiring
states to:
Promote quality child care by increasing activities to improve
the care, enhancing states’ ability to train providers and develop
safer and more effective child care services.
Strengthen health and safety requirements in child care
programs and providers.
Improve access to child care by expanding eligibility for
participating families and helping families connect with quality
programs that meet their needs by enhancing consumer
education, providing greater options for quality child care and
working to ensure continuity of care, essential for both the well-
being and stability of a child.2
With the new federal child care measures set to take effect, states are
rapidly building, evaluating, and changing their early care and
education quality focused systems (Quality Rating and Improvement
System (QRIS), professional development, licensing and standards).
Implementation of the new regulations must align with these efforts for
sustainability and maximum impact.
Over the past several years, Child Care Aware® of America has
surveyed and conducted focus groups with parents of young children,
grandparents, national child advocacy organizations, and state and
local Child Care Resource and Referral (CCR&R) agencies. Those
conversations underscored that child care is an essential building block

This document summarizes the evolution and work of an organization that provides support for parents of premature babies. It discusses:
- How the organization started in 2009 and has since expanded its initiatives to include advocacy and research to improve preemie outcomes in addition to direct support.
- The need for donations and other assistance to help reach more preemie parents and support advocacy/research opportunities.
- How donations of any size can help the organization continue supporting parents through one of the most difficult experiences they will face.
In the middle of my second year of college, I decided to challenge myself by entering a competition with a group of others. I had very little knowledge on strategic communication at the start of the competition, but I learned and grew from this experience.
The document summarizes the activities of CHEC, a Christian homeschool organization in Colorado, over the past year. It discusses CHEC's efforts to advocate for homeschool freedom and parental rights in the face of legislative threats. Key events included preventing proposed homeschool regulation, opposing bills on immunization tracking and sex education, and growing CHEC's homeschool conference and online events. The document expresses a vision for growing Christian homeschooling in Colorado to positively impact families and society. It encourages financial support for CHEC's ongoing work.
The communications plan aims to increase awareness of the Baby Moses Law, which allows mothers to safely relinquish unwanted newborns at designated safe places like hospitals and fire stations, by targeting multiple audiences. Key tactics include designating a Baby Moses Awareness Day supported by the mayor, launching social media campaigns, hosting a virtual baby shower donation drive, and conducting a radio/TV media tour to educate the public and generate coverage of the law and its benefits. The plan seeks to build more positive attitudes towards alternatives to unsafe newborn abandonment and encourage participation through a variety of online and in-person engagement strategies.
Domestic Adoption: Now Is the Time to Adopt LocallyJudith Bell
International adoption has begun to plummet at an alarming pace. Because of the increasing popularity of strict new laws and more heavily enforced old ones, foster children in North Korea, Russia, Romania and some African countries have become victims of these new movements to halt US international adoptions.
This document discusses the history of child protection efforts in the United States, beginning with the establishment of the first Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children in 1874 in response to the high-profile case of Mary Ellen Wilson. It then discusses the creation of the federal Children's Bureau in 1912, which recognized the federal government's role in child welfare. The document notes that private child protection charities struggled during the Great Depression, increasing calls for greater government involvement in child protection and social services.
This document summarizes barriers to addressing youth homelessness in California. It finds that while federal programs like RHYA are effective, they are underfunded and California does not receive its proportional share. California's investment in reducing youth homelessness has not increased since 1988. Housing development has been the primary strategy but many youth providers lack capacity for HUD funding. Collaboration between youth homelessness providers and child welfare/juvenile justice systems is limited, and transition services are insufficient for youth exiting foster care and juvenile probation. Current licensing regulations also create barriers for youth accessing shelters.
The document is a newsletter from New Life Center, which provides services for victims of domestic violence. It discusses donations received from organizations like the West Valley Mavericks Foundation.

It provides information on upcoming events like volunteer orientations and tours of the facility. The newsletter aims to thank donors and volunteers for their support in allowing New Life Center to continue its important work.
Planning a family trip involves deciding when to go, choosing a destination, and making accommodations. It requires coordinating schedules and saving money. While preparation can be stressful, family trips foster bonding and create lasting memories that make the effort worthwhile.
- A new report from the University of Bristol found that the failure rate for adoptions is just 3.2%, lower than previous estimates of 10-20%, which will reassure potential adopters.
- However, the report also showed that about a quarter of adopters face major challenges in caring for children who were neglected, and many struggle to access adequate support.
- New legislation and programs aim to address this by informing adopters of available support and allowing them to access individualized budgets for child therapy or other services, but providing sufficient support remains a challenge.

It may feel a bit consuming to find out how to go about the adoption process. However, you can make the task easier to deal with if you choose an adoption agency that can help you with information along with practical, legal, emotional, and tangible benefits.
Foster parents who adopt children help grow the number of families created through adoption each year in America. There has also been a large rise in the number of adoption agencies in San Antonio assisting thousands of families on their adoption journey. Adopting as a foster parent allows more children to find permanent homes.
This document provides information about Providence Place, an adoption agency in Texas that specializes in open adoption. It discusses the services they provide to birth mothers, including counseling, assistance with expenses, housing options, and allowing birth mothers to choose their baby's adoptive family and establish an open adoption agreement. The agency has been helping women for over 100 years and believes open adoption benefits both birth mothers and babies. Several quotes from past clients express gratitude for the support and positive adoption experiences they received.
International adoption is an exciting opportunity to welcome a child from another country into your forever family. This type of adoption has many advantages, but also suffers from a number of misconceptions that may discourage prospective adoptive couples from pursuing it.
Over the last 20 years, infant domestic adoption has experienced a fundamental shift in how it is carried out. From closed adoptions, in which neither the birth mother nor the adoptive parents knew much about each other, has sprung open adoptions, which allow the birth mother and parents to learn about each other and even remain in contact over the years.
Talking to children about their adoptionJudith Bell
As an adoptive parent, you need to be prepared to talk to your child about their adoption. As children grow up and become more aware of the fact that they are adopted, they will begin to have questions that will need to be answered.
Prenatal care is important for both mother and baby's health. It involves regular checkups with a doctor or midwife who monitors the health of the mother and baby through exams, tests, and advice. The first prenatal visit is extensive, including medical history questions and physical exams. Subsequent visits allow the doctor to check on development and address any health issues. Prenatal care helps ensure mothers and babies stay healthy through pregnancy and delivery.
Providence Place is a non-profit adoption agency located in San Antonio, Texas. They help place children with loving families and provide programs to support young mothers and adults with disabilities. When considering adoption through an agency, there are three important questions to ask:
1. What legal processes are involved in the adoption and how will the agency guide you through them? Adoption laws can be complex and vary by state, so it's important an agency understands the requirements.
2. What services are included versus excluded from the agency's fees? Getting clarity on costs upfront prevents surprises later.
3. How much experience does the agency have successfully completing adoptions? Their history navigating laws provides insight into how well
Adoption in america which state adopts the mostJudith Bell
Texas had the highest number of adoptions in 2012 with 616, followed by California with around 60 fewer. States in the east like Illinois and Ohio tended to have higher adoption rates than western states. However, when considering adoptions per 100,000 children, Alaska had the highest rate. While Texas had the most adoptions, it also has one of the largest foster care populations, so its rate was not the best. Smaller states with fewer children in foster care, like Alaska and Virginia, can have higher adoption rates. The statistics do not provide the full picture as factors like a state's foster care population and willingness of parents to adopt impact adoption rates.

National Adoption Month: What’s happening this November?
1. National Adoption Month: What’s happening this November?
Did you know there was a National Adoption Month? November is the month that our country’s leaders have asked us to pause and celebrate the loving families and birthmothers, as well as the courageous children and teenagers that strengthen families across the nation with the help of caring adoption agencies. Since 1995, national leaders have asked community groups and advocates to use the whole month of November to engage the nation in conversation and action that addresses the urgent concerns of children and teens in need of a permanent home.
But is a ‘national month’ really needed for adoption services? A look at the history of adoptions and the current need for more adoptions signals a resounding ‘yes!’
A Quick History
Adoption services have played an invaluable role in building families and safeguarding children for many years. San Antonio’s Providence Place first responded to the needs of birthmothers and foster children as far back as 1895. Adoption services were needed then, just as they are now. But only recently have we devoted a whole month to the celebration of these life-giving services.
We can trace the inspiration for the month back to former President Ronald Reagan. He first spotlighted the need for better adoption services when he declared the very first National
2. Adoption Week in 1984. Just over a decade later in 1995, former President Bill Clinton expanded the week into a month-long time frame to focus on the needs of foster children and teenagers in the now nationally recognized National Adoption Month.
Each November since 1995, our nation’s Presidents have taken a moment to compose, publish, and sign a proclamation detailing their support for adoption services and what their administration has done to strengthen and advance this national priority.
A Month of Accomplishments
So what accomplishments have we seen? There are too many to count. Simply Google a year since 1995 along with the words “adoption proclamation” and you will likely find the contemporaneous president’s details of his best efforts to advance adoption services.
Back in 1998, President Clinton pointed out how he spearheaded efforts to connect birthmothers with adoptive parents on the newly developed Internet. Fast forward to 2013, and we see that President Barack Obama issued a proclamation last year stating that he permanently extended the Adoption Tax Credit. The 2013 proclamation also notes that he signed the Intercountry Adoption Universal Accreditation Act into law, safeguarding teens and children with standardized safety measures in adoption agencies.
As we move into the month of November, President Barack Obama will be issuing a new proclamation. In the 2014 document, we will learn more about how he has directed his administration to tackle the needs and concerns of children, teens, and families who need a safe and speedy adoption process.
This Year’s Theme
While we do not know what President Obama will have to say this year, we do know the theme for this November’s outreach efforts. In 2014, the focus of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) will be on sibling connections. Each National Adoption Month advances a different aspect of adoption in America, and this year’s emphasis will be on the preservation of valuable relationships among brothers and sisters who are in need of a permanent home. This theme was chosen in light of recent studies demonstrating how
3. children with preserved connections to their biological siblings meet life challenges with greater resiliency.
HHS is also sponsoring helpful resources and fact sheets detailing how to talk to siblings about adoption and how to avoid making promises during the adoption process that can’t be kept.
To learn more about adoption in America and how it might play a loving role in your own life, consult with a local adoption agency or peruse some of the many resources published online by the Department of Health and Human Service.
