If Singapore is a nanny state, then I am proud to have fostered one.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'm not proud of this, but I had a lot of misconceptions about American foster care. To me, foster care meant that a child would be placed with you, then taken away. I didn't want to go through all of that.
Too many children in foster care are falling through cracks. Be a hero, take the time learn about adoption today.
I've given birth to five babies and I breastfed every single one of these babies. To think that government has to go out and buy my breast pump for my babies. You wanna talk about the nanny state? I think we just got the new definition of a nanny.
Most nanny-state initiatives begin on a local level.
I was born in Singapore, and I lived there until I was 12. I had a very fortunate upbringing.
I have spent a lot of time with foster children over the years - kids for whom I have not necessarily acted as a foster parent.
I don't want to live in a nanny state where people are telling me where I can go and what I can do.
When I was growing up, my parents took in foster children. From a young age, I learned that there are a lot of children in need.
As an adoptive parent myself of foster children, I have seen firsthand the glaring problems of the system currently facing this Nation.
I certainly didn't have a nanny.
