    The graying of the world's population is producing dramatic age trends that are creating both challenges and opportunities. Major transitions in later life too often lead to social isolation, depression, and illness. The older adults at Hope Meadows, an intentional intergenerational community in the United States, seem to be defying a degenerative model of aging. They have found ways to overcome pain, discomfort, and disability. Using an interpre…

It was created in 1993 as a non-profit social service agency designed to improve the service delivery and policies of the child welfare system; it ended up helping not only foster and adopted children but senior citizens as well. This…

  • From Foster Care to Fostering Care: The Need for Community

    Open AccessMartha Bauman Power, Brenda Krause EheartARTICLESociological Quarterly2000Cited by: 2References: 16

    Using an interpretive ethnographic framework, we investigate how being in a caring community benefits foster children and their families during a time of crisis. Through (re)telling the stories of the untimely death of Carl Connor, a parent of four foster children, we examine the community of Hope Meadows as the site where the activities of caring occurred. Care as a set of relational and moral practices is presented, and we describe how care is …

  • Adoption: Understanding The Past, Present, And Future Through Stories

    Open AccessBrenda Krause Eheart, Martha Bauman PowerARTICLESociological Quarterly1995Cited by: 6References: 16

    In this article, we focus on how understandings of the past influence the process of integrating older special needs children into family life. We present the stories of two families who adopted older special needs children as they reconstructed the past, experinced the present, and projected the future. We draw upon social, pragmatic, and postmodern theories of the past to guide our interpretations and understandings of these families' adoption …

    Open AccessBrenda Krause Eheart, Martha Bauman PowerARTICLEJournal of Contemporary Ethnography1988Cited by: 3References: 8

    Although there are similarities between adoptive families and biological families, there are very real differences, the significance of which are only beginning to be understood. In this article we draw upon transcripts from a three-year interpretive study of the ongoing interactions of 10 families who were in the process of adopting children with special needs. We develop new understandings of adoption, not as a structural and, therefore, static…
