Not all foster kids come from the same ethnic backgrounds. So for example if you're Caucasian and post a picture of your family with a foster child who is Asian, or African-American etc, it can bring unwanted attention.
- Grustaf 5y agoNot saying you're wrong at all, I have zero insight into foster care. Just trying to understand. But why is it a problem if someone sees a family photo and notices that one kid looks different? He could just be adopted, or a friend or something. Is it something like witness protection, the children might have abusive parents that shouldn't be able to find them? If it's a matter of not standing out, they will stand out just as much when you meet them anyway, right?
- greedo 5y agoThe number of people you meet in person is limited by geography. The number of people who might view a photo online is 7+ billion. Foster kids might have abusive parents as you surmised. They might have been removed from an unsafe home, or have relatives that were denied custody and might act on a photo.
