The government has now increased the cash incentive for states to adopt out children, while offering no cash incentive for reconciling families, or for lowering the number of false accusations against families.

"Adoption is a wonderful option for families and must be promoted by all levels of government," said Secretary Thompson. "The Federal bonuses we are announcing reward States that have worked hard to help children--particularly older children--in the child welfare system find loving, adoptive homes."

The Adoption Incentive Program, which was revised and strengthened last December by the Bush Administration, for the first time adds a focus on the growing proportion of children aged 9 years old and above who are in dire need of adoption before they "age out" of foster care.

Thanks President Bush, and thank you government for working so hard to promote the idea of family. *gag*

Here's an idea...lower the number of children removed from their loving parents for ridiculous reasons and the number of children languishing away in state care will decrease!
