    So many foster parents are fabricating stories to keep kids longer for a monthly income. If they were following the standards that children be adopted after 15 months of 22 , I think that would stop children from being in foster care so long.

    Any child who has been foster care for 2 years should have parents rights terminated, and released for adoption. Babies should be released immediately if parents are convicted felons. By 6 m0nths if they are addicts and fail the rehab program.

    My niece has been in foster care for 5 1/2 years. We have always been willing to adopt.

    I witnessed this time & again as a foster parent. I wish the rights of these innocent kids would become more important than those of the biological family who'd abused/neglected them. These kids become more damaged/scarred emotionally the longer they're in care. It's a fact!!

    Foster parents are not being treated fair or respectively ...w case workers play God , some do...they abuse the power of the job. The children stop trusting the foster parent then everyone.
