Response to StaHo Kids- Julia

It is ironic that the children in the State Home go there because they need an adult to care for them, because it doesn't really seem like they are given a whole lot of care. Like you said, they are similar to kids who grow up on the streets. They have to fend for themselves and pretty much teach themselves how to grow up and live. I suppose that being in the State Home would be better than being storked, however, in some cases. If you are in the State Home at least guaranteed food and shelter and clothing. When you are storked, you really have no idea what situation and family you will be put into. Yes, you could be placed on a loving and nurturing family's doorstep, but you also could be placed on an abusive family's doorstep. So, although I agree with you that StaHo kids do have to somewhat grow up on their own and learn to take care of themselves at an early age, I also think that there are probably many other kids in this society who are in worse situations for various reasons.
