(32,623 posts)WJC tells about HRC running to him and excitedly relating that she found the human part of Tom DeLay (she's better than me!) That was concerning foster kids.
Together, they held events at the White House to raise awareness, and built support for legislation that would encourage adoptions, provide more aid for foster families, and help foster children find permanent, safe, loving homes.
The first piece of legislation was the Adoption and Safe Families Act of 1997, which provided support and services for adoptive families, and increased foster adoptions by 64 percent by 2002.
It's no wonder the Washington Post called the law "the most significant change in federal child-protection policy in almost two decades."
The second piece of legislation, the Foster Care Independence Act of 1999, was focused on children who "age out" of the foster care system when they turn 18.

(1,053 posts)with the rate Sanders and his Twitter Brigade are decrying people as
"1%er sellouts," "oligarchs," and all the other buzzwords....
well, I think at this point, there are more "1%ers" under the bus than
be logical from the statistics of .01
According to Sanders and his supporters, the percentage of Americans
who are 1%ers is like...well, some double digit percent.
Combined with some of Bernie's plans, their definitions of "tie" and their
poor accounting of delegates/voters/(non)endorsements...I'm left with
the conclusion that their camp is just really bad at math.
