Kids in Iowa are being returned to homes that fail them. We (foster parents, social workers, family members, neighbors) have seen this happen. It is heart wrenching. We want it to stop.


We want kids in the Iowa foster care system to be given their best shot at life. We are asking our legislators to put kids first. The Iowa House of Representatives has produced draft legislation:


http://coolice.legis.iowa.gov/Cool-ICE/default.asp?Category=billinfo&Service=Billbook&menu=false&ga=86&hbill=HF86


I support this bill because I want the well-being of Iowa's children to be the primary factor when deciding their future.

Updates

February 11, 2015

The stories shared in the comments regarding the current foster care system are both eye-opening and deeply concerning. I am currently working to compile these accounts to present before the relevant legislative committees.

Too many kids are falling through the cracks in this state. It breaks my heart to see what some of these little ones go through. Please do something.
