The Importance of Fostering

These are the final images I presented.

Every 2 images are a representation of a situation.

The first scenario showcases a mother who is unable to take care of her chile, whether it is because of money or health it does not matter. The mother felt that she needed help to raise her child and decide to put her child up for fostering. The child is adopted by a couple but the mother is still present in her child's life.

As for the second scenario, the child is in an abusive environment and is put up for fostering. Now he is being fostered by a homosexual couple. 

The third situation, the parent of the child is not in a good situation because of the parental figures’ drugs or alcohol problem and is also put into fostering. The child is now being fostered by a loving family.

My Narrative

What is my narrative? 
My narrative is to shed more light on the topic of fostering. I will do that by taking a series of images showing the good impact of fostering on children.
What is fostering? 
It is when you take care of a child whose parent/S is still in the picture, for example, a single mother who is sick or a family who is not financially stable and decide to give their child a better chance. Or when a child is neglected, and they are put up for fostering until the parent/S gets better or rehabilitates.
Why this topic?  
When I think about the future, I think about adopting, until I found out about fostering. Not that adoption isn’t important, but I think we talk about fostering it less.
Why is fostering important? 
I think it’s a good way to give a child a better place to grow and evolve and to create a good impact until the parent/S recovers or to be a permanent home for them to always feel safe in.
Who are my characters? 
The main character is the child and his before and after feeling of being fostered to show the good impact on children and the importance of fostering.
What is the storyline? 
There are 3 storyline of 3 children being fostered. One starts out by the parent having either financial or medical difficulties then the child is fostered by a family but the mother is still present. Storyline 2 is the child is in an abusive environment and is later fostered by a single parent. Storyline 3 is the child being neglected and later fostered by a same sex couple.
