Quote of the Week -- John and Julie Gottman

"Feelings of fondness and admiration are the perfect antidotes to contempt. When couples make a full, conscious effort to notice things they like about each other's personalities and character, and to express that fondness right out loud, their relationships typically improve."

What's New

Child Trends and Information Gateway State Statutes Data Collaboration

Select content from Information Gateway's State Statutes Series is now available on the State Child Welfare Policy Database, which is managed by Child Trends with support from Casey Family Programs. The database provides policy information on a range of child welfare topics, giving users access to up-to-date information on individual State policies and the ability to compare their own State's policies with other States'.

Visit the State Child Welfare Policy Database at www.childwelfarepolicy.org

State Guides and Manuals Search

This database of online State and county policy and procedure manuals, administrative rules, licensing standards, handbooks for families, and other resources allows users to search by any combination of multiple States, topics, and audiences. Search results link users to the original, and sometimes difficult-to-find, materials online.

In This Month's CBX

The November issue of Children's Bureau Express (CBX) spotlights this year's National Adoption Month initiative, announces the winners of the Adoption Excellence Awards, and links to a number of reports on the benefits of adoption.

Index of Belonging and Rejection Press Conference
November 17, 2011
Time: 12:00 pm (ET) - 01:00 pm (ET)

Click here to register for the Index of Belonging and Rejection Release.

DOES YOUR STATE FOSTER BELONGING OR REJECTION?

You are invited to be a part of the
Second Annual Index of Family Belonging and Rejection
Release and News Conference

Thursday, November 17, 2011

Speakers include:

  • Dr. Pat Fagan, Senior Fellow and Director of MARRI
  • Dr. David Armor, Professor Emeritus of Public Policy at George Mason University
  • Dr. Nick Zill
  • Pat Ware, Former Executive Director, Presidential Advisory Council on HIV/AIDS

There are two ways to participate:

Live broadcast via the internet, or on location!

Most American teenagers' parents have rejected each other, through divorce, separation, or choosing not to marry, and rates of parental rejection vary significantly across ethnic and regional backgrounds.

When parents belong to each other in marriage, children thrive most. The more parents reject each other (in divorce or never marrying), the less children thrive.

The Index of Belonging and Rejection delves into all of these statistics and rank-orders the states and the 25 largest cities by the strength of belonging in their family, showing that less than 50 percent of American children reach adulthood having grown up in an intact married family.

Belonging and rejection within the family have significant impacts on the strength of the nation and its communities, as well as on America's future leadership capacity. This second release of the Index of Family Belonging and Rejection delves into the relationship between the Belonging Index and the issues of poverty, educational attainment and teenage out of wedlock births.

For those who would like to watch it live online, and then log on at 12:00 pm EST to watch the live webcast!

12:00-1:00 Release
Lunch will be served (if attending in person)

In lieu of flowers you may give a donation to NAME. Leo’s dream was to have the NAME Headquarters building paid for before the bank reposes it on December 11th. If you feel led to help his vision come to pass that would truly be the best way to show honor to his great life. Help the legacy live on....
