    Desperately needing change. These children are our future. They are traumatized hurt and confused. When they are ripped out of a loving foster home and placed back into the home that abused or neglectful,when obviously the situation has not changed. The current policy to reunite with bio family is not always the right decision. Case by case EVALUATED.

    Our boys have been in care for OVER 24 months and still haven't finalized. Kids deserve permanency. When biological family isn't a safe place we need to ACT and bring them a family NOT leave them in limbo. We need to follow the law.

    Give children a chance at a permanent, consistent loving home, a forever home. No children should be torn back and forth and drug through heartache of where they belong. They need to feel they belong.

    As a foster parent for over ten years, I can tell you first hand what prolonged anguish the label "foster child" has on a child in care. Their needs should supersede any consideration of the parents. It's the parents' fault their children were removed in the first place.

    I was in foster care for 3 and a half years, I moved to 10 different foster homes and also stayed in and out mental hospitals. The foster parents you have either aren't doing it for the right reasons or simply don't care about the children. I would like better foster parents screenings, drop ins without notice. And to the foster parents that actually do care and have spent years with a specific child, let them stay. Don't take them away from someone they've grown to love. Have a heart.

    As a foster parent, there appears to be more rights granted the bio parent(s) than the children. I have had children beg me to not make them see their parent. The total foster care system needs to be revamped.
