I hope that EVERYONE from Indiana is aware of the petition at [url=http://www.ifcaa.org]Indiana Foster Care and Adoption Association[/url] (Indiana Foster Care & Adoption Association) because this is a CRISIS situation! We have adopted 4 Special Needs Children here in Indiana, after the creation of the Waiting List! I have been blogging, complaining, & posting on Facebook for a couple years about this situation!
1. I want to give Thanks & Praise to Grace Trahan of Channel 6 News for recently airing a story of this tragedy!

Adoption Subsidy Cut Black Mark On Indiana, Some Say
2. I want to also Thank Indiana State Senator John Broden for his hard work towards this situation and his quote in the above story; ""There's a moral obligation here. We should not be trying to balance our state budget on the backs of abused and neglected children," Broden said.
3. Be sure that when you visit the ifcaa website, to also 'Rest' you mouse pointer over the heading 'Adoption' & see the last item in the list 'State Adoption Subsidy' to click on it. THIS IS A MUST READ!!! & SHARE!!!
4. The above story will confirm that $104 million was moved from Indiana Children's Services to the General Fund, plus, you can take that figure and add the $320 million that was recently found from Indiana Sales Tax EBT collection, and you will know without a shadow of a doubt, that just as stated in our CONTRACTS FOR THE ADOPTION SUBSIDY WAITING LIST, there is indeed, ADEQUATE FUNDING AVAILABLE!
5. It would have only taken $7 million of that to have kept those broken promises made to the 500 Abused, Neglected, Special Needs Children that were adopted post December 2009.
6. There are 3,211 Children waiting to be adopted in Indiana! This is all so shameful!
7. Indiana is the only state with a 'Waiting List' but New Hampshire carries this same shame as these 2 states are the only states that have turned their backs on these children!
I communicate most frequently on Facebook as Steve'n Angie Finney. We all need to unite and be a voice for these children!
Thank You, Angie Finney :grr:
