FROM THE ADOPTION OF CHILDREN LATELY?
HHS Awards First Adoption Bonuses - 9/24/1999

HHS Awards Adoption Bonuses - 9/10/2001
"Nearly $20 million in adoption bonuses went to 42 states and the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico for increasing the number of children adopted from public foster care. The bonuses were proposed by the Clinton-Gore administration in its Adoption 2002 initiative and were included in the Adoption and Safe Families Act of 1997 (ASFA). Last year, 35 states received bonuses. To date, every state and the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico have qualified for these funds for one or both years of the program."
Because of these bonuses, more children are being taken from their loving families unjustly, to feed the state's needs for readily adoptable children. This link will show you how much fosterincarceration facility owners get paid for adopting our children. |
