In part 8 we were continuing our exploration of our foster care system; now continuing;

It is the opinion of your Foster Families Examiner that this the ASFA is absolute biggest mistake added to the foster care system since the creation of the Mondale Act in 1974. It has now become exactly what Mondale warned it may become in 1974 when he submitted this bill all those years ago; a billion dollar money making business for CPS.

When Clinton put into place ASFA, stands for The American Safe Families Act, which was another attempt to place a protective blanket around America’s children, it just added to the onset of the money hungry system. We will do an article on ASFA in the near future.

In today’s Foster Care System where has this idea taken us? To make it easier we will refer to the Foster Care System as FCS herein. We need to explain how this system works, or better yet how it doesn’t work.

We described a scenario in part one of this series, a description of one family’s nightmare experience with CPS coming to the door, if you have not read all of the articles please do so now; 1-8 now.  We need you to follow our subject line from the beginning.

We have already explored the Agencies role in this scenario and followed your children into this money making maze. It is only fare that we also explore the foster parent’s end of this maze.

We stated in paragraph three part one of this series; This type of foster care home is available, but is also on the decline, meaning good loving foster parents whose only goal is to help the child (ren) who need them, please allow us to explain why;

now let us tackle this tough aspect of this Foster Care System. As we expound on the foster parents who strive to become foster parents only to get in on the big bucks called bonuses they have an opportunity to collect once TPR (termination of parental rights) has taken place and the child (ren) becomes adoptable, now they access the adoption/bonuses and subsidies. We all know that there are bad foster parents out there, do we not?

We looked at the figures compiled from our government website. Remember what they were? We discovered that 55,000 children were adopted in 2008.  Out of which 29,610 of those adoptions were by the Foster Parents, or 54%. Then a fact was offered as to how many of those adopted children from foster care received adoption subsidies the statistics were; 89% or 49,032. Out of 54,284 adoptions, adoption subsidies which represents 19% or 54,284. 

Theory; we mentioned that good foster parents are on the decline, why is that?   Your examiner offers you this theory;  They are systemically being weeded out, so to speak, through the massive increase of false allegations. These honest foster parents who strive for reunification cannot be in this system.. Your children were being entrusted to the care of good people, however good people are not apt to be so pliable to corrupt and twisted ethics. The answer; get rid of them anyway you can.  This offers a possible explanation as to why there is an influx of, not so desirable foster parents whose goal is not so much the care of your child (ren) but the adoption subsidies when the adoption is completed. The question arises as to how these prospective adoptive parents are passing the close inspection that others have had to pass? Maybe they no longer have to? .

In part 10 we will do the math, get your calculators out before going on to 10,  so you can see what this corrupt system makes for CPS you will be astounded by the results of these calculations, your examiner was years ago.
