Cutting costs of foster care reform urged in Congress
Sylvia Porter argues foster care is a chronic, costly system with about 380,000 children in care. She cites low preventive services, minimal case review, misaligned funding, and barriers to adoption. House HR 7200 would require preventive services, case plans, least-restrictive placement, 18 month goals, adoption subsidies, and information sharing to favor reunification and reduce state costs. Senate plans emphasize removing barriers to adoption and evaluating pre placement aid programs.
