Orphanages in America

Issue Whether the United States policy shift away from institutional care is warranted given the benefits it provides. Description The stigma associated with orphanages has lead policymakers in the United States to discourage the use of these institutional care facilities. The Social Security Act of 1935 authoritative the first federal grants for child benefit services. Since then, the federal g everywherenment has continued to advocate states to adopt bring up Care as their main child welfare system.The policies encouraging Foster Care are in large part due to the governments recognition that the nuclear family is a superior clay sculpture for child development. This, coupled with the traditionally negative view of children being raised in group homes, has lead to many myths about institutional care and advance the publics negative stereotype of these facilities. The governments adverse position to institutional care must be disabused. It limits a form of child care that is pr oven to be effective and beneficial. The reasons and history behind the governments biased view of these facilities is still unclear.Orphanages offer many disadvantaged children distinct advantages over foster care, some of which are structure, stability, and a sense of permanence. Childrens homes permit siblings to stay together, afford children a chance to develop moral and religious values, encourage a sense of responsibility and work ethic, as well as much needed education and job-related skills. There is great potential for orphanages to meet the needfully of the many children who currently languish for years in the modern foster care system.It is time for policymakers to recognize the distinct advantages institutional care can provide.
