The policies are finally being reviewed for the reforms we demanded. My hands are shaking as I type this because the path to reunification is open again. We have to keep watching the implementation process to ensure these changes actually reach the families who need them.

Has CPS abused the intention of the Adoption and Safe Families Act (ASFA) of 1997, Public Law 105-89 105th Cong., 1st sess. on November 19, 1997?

Are the 4 primary goals of ASFA
1) Moving children promptly to permanent families
2) Ensuring that safety is a paramount concern
3) Elevating well-being as a major focus of child welfare system efforts
4) Improving innovation and accountability throughout that system

being manipulated to benefit the government and foster care agencies than the families and children?

Since the enactment of this Public Law foster children have been adopted out at 300% more than prior to this law.

I need your support to reform and revised ASFA to ensure families can be reunified with their children who have been placed in foster care. CPS has exaggerated their cases to the courts by falsely reporting the safety of the children is not met at their families homes. We need to all stand up for our constitutional rights to parent our own children.

Government funding and incentives need to be properly used to provide families and children with adequate services for those who desire to thrive as a family unit.

Congress had allowed the excuse of the alleged failure of family preservation programs to justify permanently separating more ... children from their parents.

Please sign this petition to help me regain my parental rights and be reunified with my two children. CPS has used hearsay and fabricated false testimony because they were more financially motivated to receive federal cash incentives than to provide me the services for my family to thrive than only survive.

I thank you personally for taking the time to visit my link and sign my petition.

May God Bless you and please pray for all the children who are the real victims from this law that take them away from the families that truly love them.

Please share this link with all your friends and family. Your voice does count, but we all need go get involved to change these laws if we want change to happen.

See links for more info

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the ones I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.

The emails I receive from other parents going through this nightmare are heavy but they keep me pushing forward. It is clear that my situation is just one small part of a much larger and deeper system failure. I am currently documenting every instance of negligence I have discovered so I can present a clear case for reform.

Seeing this momentum grow is heavy because it confirms so many families are suffering under the weight of this broken system. I am exhausted by the fight but knowing I am not alone in this struggle keeps me moving forward.

We need our families together and I’m in agreement 100 percent support of mrs candy strothers Devore the system needs reforming ASAP for the sake of our families and children’s grandchildren to have a future relationship between them and the families that they come from and more support and resources rather than separating children and grandchildren from their entire family it’s a better way to protect children and grandchildren from any abuse I was abused in the foster care system and no one cared

I, too, lost my 3 children to dhr due to my rights as a parent being violated and when I tried to retaliate, they did an emergency TPR. I lost all rights to my kids due to mistakes made by the state to protect my kids. They failed and when I went to finding a lawyer, they cut my visitations and filed an emergency TPR. Now my daughter who was 3 months when taken, has been adopted by another family and my older boys have went from home to home. I don't know what to do. Every day tha th passes without them is pure agony and I wouldn't wish this on the devil.

The Constitution of the United States of America is the supreme law of the United States. Empowered with the sovereign authority of the people by the framers and the consent of the legislatures of the states, it is the source of all government powers, and also provides important limitations on the government that protect the fundamental rights of United States citizens. “We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, ensure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.”
