Soooooo I have no idea how and due to my own personal drama almost forgot -- but TOMORROW MORNING I have a 45 minute meeting with our member of parliament (I am Canadian) with the SOLE purpose being to educate them on attachment, bonding and attachment disorder. All this in a push to educate the govt on the necessity for permanency for kids in care.
SO ... HELP!!!!!
What should I cover? Resources that have ready made speeches available?
What would YOU want someone high up in govt to know about attachment for kids in care?

Because of the seriousness of long term consequences for children, placement stability within 12 months of entry into foster care was one of the three outcome measures established as the national standard of Permanency Outcome 1 for the first round of the Child and Family Services Reviews (CFSR). As one aspect of the CFSR, State performance was assessed in relation to the outcome measure definition, ғof all children who have been in foster care for less than 12 months from the time of the latest removal from the home, 86.7% or more have had no more than 2 placement settings (ChildrenԒs Bureau/ACF/DHHS, 2004). Only 14 States met the national standard for placement stability during the first round of CFSRs from 2001 to2004.
