I'm so excited. I sure hope Matt Damon adopts me, but I'll settle for Anderson Cooper.

The more kids we can get away from the DCF and into permanent, safe, and loving homes, the better.

No kidding. The department charged with keeping kids safe is a very dangerous department. Another State racket IMO.

And Jeb!'s attempts to privatize a lot of DCF functions just made it worse- increased the bureaucracy while decreasing the actual oversight that makes sure kids are getting appropriate placements and services. IIRC, one of the DCF contractors got themselves in trouble a while back for using totally inappropriate drugs as treatment as a first option when it came to dealing with unruly kids in their care.

Thank goodness!

Ridiculous that people have been so against this - completely ignoring the fact that those kids were available for adoption because their hetero parents and traditional family had failed them.

Not just yet, but you never know.

And a VERY difficult job! Dangerous department??? Care to elaborate?

Glad to hear about the overturn, what a ridiculous law!
