cbsnews.com/news/alabama-abo… An unbelievable bill has been signed into law in Alabama. A state. with the highest per capita death penalty rate, the legislatures believe that they are not God and a life is a life, have outlawed abortion. Hypocrites @kayivey76
A must-see.
"They're our children, too." Writer-director Mark Jonathan Harris and producer Deborah Oppenheimer discuss what led them to create #FosterDoc. Don't miss the premiere in one hour on @HBO.
hbo.com/documentaries/foster. Watch this documentary. Help gain perspective on a problem that is often overlooked.
This documentary was an extraordinary glimpse into the foster care system and its participants. @HBODocs has truly paid an homage to those who are passionate in making a difference in foster children's lives and exposes areas of improvement.
Thank you @HBODocs, @Participant and filmmakers Deborah Oppenheimer and Mark Jonathan Harris for shining a light on the needs of children in #fostercare and the many dedicated adults committed to making a difference in their lives #FosterDoc #NFCM2019 #Adoption

I'm sure this comes as great news for those military families that are looking to expand their family while serving our country overseas and who are not sure of their prospective parent rights.
Military families stationed overseas and within the US are not prohibited from adopting children from the US foster care system. Check out our adoption resources for military families: ow.ly/luQ950rmGUL #adoption #military
It's always awesome to know that your workplace supports your family life as well. Great job @BankofAmerica for your support of adoption.

Thank you @NCFA for highlighting this issue. Prospective parents are overburdened by the many hurdles they must cross in order to adopt outside of the country. Children are languishing without families with no clear remedy I site.
Released today, the @StateDept's 2018 Annual Report on Intercountry Adoptions shows a 14% drop since last year -- 14 straight years of decline. NCFA takes a look at the numbers and explains why this downward trend is failing children around the world: adoptioncouncil.org/blog/201…
Great site for summarizing the adoption laws and process of adoption. #ProspectiveParentRights adopt.org/adoption-laws
Replying to @ChildWelfareGov
@ChildWelfareGov and the Children's Bureau want your input! Help them design products and services that meet your needs and are easily accessible. Please take this survey: childwelfareinformationstudy…
Setting an adoption budget is paramount and finding an agency and attorney that understands your budget and adheres to it is crucial to the process. Your team should represent you and your family with your best interests at heart. #ProspectiveParentRights

A little over 20 years ago, Jen and I adopted our daughter Ashley from foster care. We knew that at age 6, if we didn’t adopt her, she might end up in the foster care system permanently.… instagram.com/p/BuFEYhkn3CK/… – at Raleigh, NC
