Synopsis
On average, a quarter of a million children in the United States enter foster care every year. Most of these children are placed in non-kinship homes; that is, with people who are complete strangers. In The Neglected Transition, child welfare researcher Monique B. Mitchell explores children's experiences of loss and ambiguity as they transition into foster care, as well as the questions children ask during this critical life transition. Specifically, the author uses child-centered research, practical examples, and healing suggestions to create a foundation from which a relational home can be built. Drawing from the compelling stories of children, Mitchell invites readers to join children on their journey as they transition into the foster care system and courageously share their experiences of loss, ambiguity, fear, and hope.

About the Author
Monique B. Mitchell, PhD, is passionate about illuminating and enhancing the lived experience of children and youth in foster care. Her research focuses on life transitions, meaning-making, grief and loss, ambiguity, and youth empowerment. Her specific expertise involves consulting with children, youth, and invested parties in the child welfare system to inform policy and practice and to develop resources and curricula that serve youth in foster care.
Review
"In all, this book is a welcome contribution to document the experience of likely millions of foster children who otherwise have not been given much of a voice in contemporary discourse. Anyone who wishes to understand the experience of foster youth better will be well served by reading this book. Once they do, they may find a great deal of compassion for the children and families who navigate this system, and an urge to correct and reform a system that imposes injustice upon already traumatized and marginalized families and individuals who are really only in need of greater support." -- Omega--Journal of Death and Dying
