Lawmaker proposes Beaver styled foster program in Kansas
Kansas Senator Forrest Knox proposes a new foster care plan offering higher reimbursements to married couples who abstain from smoking and drinking, attend church, and educate their foster children at home or private schools. The proposal requires a seven year marriage and one spouse not working outside the home, sparking legal and inclusion concerns from critics and lawmakers. The bill faces a Senate committee hearing amid debate on constitutional issues and the value of traditional family models.
