For a special Elyria clan fostering care turns to love as Ebony and Candice, once foster children, become part of the Williams family. The couple recalls the previous system where parental consent was needed for adoption and notes judicial consent now speeds permanency. Ryan Scott’s death in a foster home spurred scrutiny, yet county officials say overall safeguards improved while promoting prevention and safety in keeping children out of foster care.

Clinton answers short on specifics
Washington AP reports President Clinton’s written answers to 81 House Judiciary Committee questions largely amount to memory gaps and cautious denials. He repeats “I do not recall” and notes prior sworn statements while acknowledging a wrong relationship with Monica Lewinsky. Experts say he’s cornered, avoiding admissions of perjury or obstruction.
