description: Foster and adoptive parents are challenged by society to raise the child with extraordinary emotional and behavioral problems - the child marked by his past, the child whose future without helps looks grim. Collectively, we ask these parents not only to 'raise Cain,' but to raise him better. If we ask foster and adoptive parent to raise society's most jeopardized children - its abused and neglected youngsters - our system must better attend to the best interests of its children and of those who care for Cain. Raising Cain offers a format and interventions to raise Cain better, and challenges certain systemic failures which neglect the best interests of foster and adoptive children. It protests, confronts and 'raises Cain' about fundamental, but repairable flaws in our present day system of care.
