I am an adoptive mom to 3 Native kids. If this funding would have been available to my kids extended birth families they may have been able to stay in their natural families.One of my adoptive kids is an extended family member of mine and we are fromt he same tribe. As an ex foster parent I have witnessed the sheer numbers of kids who need homes. Bluntly said,Take away this chance and you are taking away from the kids.... 42856@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Tue, 16 Sep 2008 23:04:34 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_6307.html#41625 This bill will help keep kids out of foster care and with their extended families -- that's a good thing for all of you who don't even read bills before you spout what some right-winger tells you to say. It also provides funding to tribes to help tribes provide services to their people.... 41625@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Fri, 05 Sep 2008 10:05:29 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_6307.html#39806 For those of you judging this bill that have not had the experience of having to raise your grandchildren alone on a fixed income need to realize that help is desperately needed. Please walk a mile in their shoes before you choose to judge this opportunity to help as negative.... 39806@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Tue, 05 Aug 2008 09:46:23 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_6307.html#39333 give children back... 39333@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Thu, 24 Jul 2008 15:34:51 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_6307.html#39332 no taking children... 39332@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Thu, 24 Jul 2008 15:32:43 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_6307.html#39258 This is NOT family meddling - read the bill more closely. This bill will help kids who are in the foster care system. These are children who have been seriously abused! They are in the system through NO fault of their own. States have huge problems finding family placements for these children, which leaves many to grow up in institutional settings. This bill would help the family members of these children afford to take them in. Also, it would help kids who turn 18 in the system. Generally, these kids are tossed out on the street and abandoned when they reach that age. This would allow states to keep them in care until they turn 21...which is much closer to what most young adults experience.... 39258@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Tue, 22 Jul 2008 16:44:17 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_6307.html#38654 No More family Meddling!!

I think it should be scrapped. They hace contolled innocent families for too long. This bill isn't going to change anything,let it sunset!!! Give us back control over our children.... 38366@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Fri, 27 Jun 2008 09:13:04 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_6307.html#38205 Scrap it all, let it sunset. It has been terribly abused over the last 3 decades. Enough of family meddling by the government no nothings! Scrap it now!... 38205@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Wed, 25 Jun 2008 18:47:35 EDT
