What does Gods plan for raising children look like? It looks and smells like success with Gods favor in bloom! When we partner with God, using his plan, he will open the door to unimaginable blessings. Our world has been broken and dysfunctional since the sins of Adam and Eve. As the population of the world increases, so does evil (sin). Raising Children the Old Fashioned Way: For a Better Tomorrow will bring parents hope, encouragement, and an avenue to success when they put Gods parenting plan into action. Raising Children the Old Fashioned Way is a scripturally based guideline that presents Gods opinion, wisdom, and common sense for raising children in accordance to his plan. Roman 15:4 says, Everything that was written in the past was written to teach us so that through endurance and the encouragement of the scripture, we might have hope. Children deserve the best, and that is to be raised by Gods wisdom and principles. It is obvious God has been ignored for far too long. It is quite apparent that the world today lacks Gods knowledge, Gods wisdom, and Gods discernment. Parents have the ability to change this atrocity for the sake of all children. Ecclesiastes 1:9 says, What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again, there is nothing new under the sun.

In the 1930s, buoyed by the potential of the New Deal, child welfare reformers hoped to formalize and modernize their methods, partly through professional casework but more importantly through the loving care of temporary, substitute families. Today, however, the foster care system is widely criticized for failing the children and families it is intended to help. How did a vision of dignified services become virtually synonymous with the breakup of poor families and a disparaged form of "welfare" that stigmatizes the women who provide it, the children who receive it, and their families? Tracing the evolution of the modern American foster care system from its inception in the 1930s through the 1970s, Catherine Rymph argues that deeply gendered, domestic ideals, implicit assumptions about the relative value of poor children, and the complex public/private nature of American welfare provision fueled the cultural resistance to funding maternal and parental care. What emerged was a system of public social provision that was actually subsidized by foster families themselves, most of whom were concentrated toward the socioeconomic lower half, much like the children they served. Analyzing the ideas, debates, and policies surrounding foster care and foster parents' relationship to public welfare, Rymph reveals the framework for the building of the foster care system and draws out its implications for today's child support networks.
