Did you know that...

"Adoption and Safe Families Act (ASFA, Public Law 105-89) was signed into law by President Bill Clinton on November 19, 1997 after having been approved by the United States Congress earlier in the month . AFSA was enacted in an attempt to correct problems that were inherent in the foster care system that deterred the adoption of children with special needs... In greeting the final measure, Bill Clinton stated that the bill 'makes clear that children's health and safety are the paramount concerns.'"

Incredible. Children always seem to get the short end of the stick. Even if strides are made to make things better.
