    We have a foster child in our family who my brother and his wife love and he loves them. He has been in foster care since he was one month old and EVERYTHING the system does is in favor of the mother over the child. Despite the abuse, neglect, lies, etc, they still want to offer extensions and give this amazing, sweet toddler back. We have written letters, they attend the court dates, etc... None of it matters. It's disgusting.

    Please address the critical situation in New York City without delay. This is truly a tragedy.

    I am a current foster parent in NYC and see firsthand how The Adoption Safe Families Act is completely ignored. My foster son has been in care for 18 months. When I asked about the ASFA, I was told that this was a starting point and his case could easily go on for 2 more years. My husband and I are willing to adopt him and no one cares from any level of the foster care system.

    Help these children find and be placed in permanent homes sooner.

    The children in our care have been in foster care for all but four weeks of the last three years. There still is no termination, and the parents have had no involvement for 18 months. To say the state is acting in the best interest of the children, is garbage.

    Maybe we would see much less abuse and neglect if we took parenting education seriously in this country. Getting out in front of this problem by mandating parenting education in all of our high schools is a piece of the solution that should be seriously considered. www.cope24.com

    Parents are given too many chances while children suffer.

    I ama foster parent i know what the system does. The CASA workers are not heard either. We are the only ones that have the best interest of the child in mind.
