I could only ever see myself at an agency that welcomes all families regardless of age, race\/ethnicity, religion, marital status, sexual orientation, gender identity, etc.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\"><strong>\u4f60\u9ede\u6a23\u5c0d\u9818\u990a\u6709\u8208\u8da3\uff1f<\/strong><br \/>\nTo me there is nothing more fundamentally influential to human development than the family you are raised in. In this field, we have the opportunity to help support healthy foundations for children, whether it\u2019s helping to empower individuals to raise the children who are born to them, or preparing families to raise the children entrusted to them through adoption.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\"><strong>What\u2019s your favorite part about being a home study social worker?<\/strong><br \/>\nCarrying families from home study into post-placement is rewarding. It\u2019s great to see a person\u2019s dream to parent become a reality. I also love seeing that through the relationships we build with families that trust is established; through that trust, when the realities of parenting are hard, or if a parent is struggling with bonding with their new child, the parent feels safe coming to us with that so we can support them and help work through the challenge.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\"><strong>\u4f60\u4efd\u5de5\u6700\u5177\u6311\u6230\u6027\u5605\u90e8\u5206\u4fc2\u54a9\uff1f<\/strong><br \/>\nIt\u2019s our job to dive deep with prospective adoptive parents and understand their life history in order to then talk through how that history may impact their future parenting. I think for those of us who are social workers, we came to the field with the belief that through challenges we can find strengths, and so we really work with families to build insight into how their own histories could support them as future parents.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\"><strong>\u7528\u4e09\u500b\u5b57\u5f62\u5bb9\u4f60\u4efd\u5de5\u3002.<\/strong><br \/>\nPreparing &amp; supporting families<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">\u4f60\u6709\u5187\u540c\u904e\u4e00\u500b\u7279\u5b9a\u5605\u5bb6\u5ead\u5408\u4f5c\u904e\uff0c\u55ba\u4efb\u4f55\u65b9\u9762\u90fd\u5f71\u97ff\u904e\u4f60\uff1f<br \/>\nI think they all do.
