Feedback
A Incorrect: Poverty rates in two-parent families are much lower than those in families headed by a single parent. The potential exists for both parents to work which would increase household income.
B Correct: Almost half of all poor children live in single-parent (usually women) households. The risk of poverty is high for the following reasons: low wages for women, low educational attainment for single mothers, and low rates and levels of child support from fathers.
C Incorrect: When a child is adopted, there usually is adequate income to raise the individual at a decent living standard.
D Incorrect: Foster parents are typically compensated and/or receive public benefits by state or federal programs. Poverty is not an issue in these families
