Today’s subject of concern “Advocates for you or themselves”;

Allow me to explain our title; although attention to this scenario is long overdue, others seeing what we have been saying all along, the fact that CPS is victimizing American families. Although we do need our government officials and others who have the power to investigate the workings of CPS, our concern is that the interest in this reoccurring nightmare is drawing a new and dangerous element, an observation that is disturbing to this advocate.

Advocacy on behalf of foster/adoptive and biological parents in general has now attracted a new influx of individuals who see dollar signs/profits they will potentially make from one of the greatest tragedies of our society, taking advantage of vulnerable people still reeling from the loss of their children.

You see, Foster Parents use what is often called the “Grapevine” form of communication, that is, if you harm one you have in essence harmed all. It does not take long for word to spread, in this close knit community. However, it seems biological parents may not function with the grapevine style of communication, unfortunate because it is biological parents who are the most vulnerable, and being targeted by those of whom we are speaking.

                    Allow me use a phrase here; Have you ever heard of “shirt tail credibility”?

These people realize that boarder lines in assisting parents in general inevitably cross; by that meaning that successful advocates often assist all three groups; foster/adoptive/ biological parents. Therefore, it behooves the imposter's to invite those that have the reputations, longevity, and earned trust as advocates, those individuals who have worked successfully as advocates in the foster parents community, they invite these advocates to meetings and to join their organization in order to give themselves credibility. This is what your Examiner calls “shirt tail credibility”.

                                           Plagiarism is a form of “shirt tale credibility”.

There have been occasions when other advocates arrive at their invited destination, and after meeting the person in charge, withdraw support for this individual; by now we recognize “shirt tale credibility” when we see this characteristic. Need help/advice/support nfpcar.org
