Issue #9
IMMIGRATION

Raising Children in a New Country
Immigrant parents who are investigated by the child welfare system often need extra help understanding their rights and getting proper services. They may not speak English, understand American laws or customs, or fear accessing services to keep their children safe at home.
In this issue, immigrant parents write about protecting and strengthening their families while struggling to understand an unfamiliar system and culture.
