There is a Petition to Fund the Indiana State Adoption Subsidy

You go Girl! My signature has been on this petition for months. I have also contacted Sen. Broden. I am hoping he re-introduces SB357 again this year. so far it is not on the schedule. I have written Mitch Daniels several times and am now not even getting responses. It is a shame that they offer and mandate all apply. Then say they dont have the money. after all the lost money and returned money. There was evena plan to automatically refund taxpayers if there was so much percentage over the budget forecast.Uh, Hello!!?? You know that there is a bill being presented regarding secret compartments in cars right now.. why even waste time and money reading a bill like that when there are so many other more important things to spend those resources on!

:cheer: UPDATE! UPDATE! UPDATE! :cheer: I just received this email, see very bottom, from Indiana State Senator John Broden! Please email everyone you know, share on facebook, spread the word for EVERY PERSON IN INDIANA TO CONTACT EVERY LEGISLATOR! Example Email that anyone could copy/paste into an email: RE: Please Pass SB 348 Dear General Assembly Member, I would first like to give praise to Indiana Senator John Broden for caring about Indiana's Abused & Neglected Special Needs Children! I want to personally thank every legislator that will help to get this SB 348 Passed! I am so thankful that once you became aware of this dire situation of children waiting to get adopted and adopted after 2009, you will likely choose to show compassion for these abused & neglected Special Needs children, just like 48 other United States are currently doing for these children. My faith and belief in you supporting and passing this bill allows me to Thank You now, for keeping these promises to these children. You may have not been aware that $104 million had been returned from the General Fund FROM Children's Services when these children needed that support and I am sure that you are well aware of the $320 million that has been discovered in the EBT Sales Tax Payments, therefore displaying, that as stated in the Indiana State Adoption Subsidy Waiting List CONTRACTS (Promises made), there has been and is currently, adequate funding to fund the Indiana State Adoption Subsidy Waiting List.

Thank You for Caring! There is now a Bill! These kids still need you to tell your legislators to "Please Pass Bill 348, 2012!" Please SHARE & EMAIL ... Thank You! See below for Legislative EMAIL addresses, sample Email, & instructions! (Sample Email) RE: Please Pass SB 348 , 2012 Dear General Assembly Member, I would first like to give praise to Indiana Senator John Broden for caring about Indiana's Abused & Neglected Special Needs Children!

I am so thankful that as you become aware of this CRISIS situation of these abused & neglected Special Needs children WAITING TO GET ADOPTED and those adopted after 2009, you are likely to choose to show compassion for these children, just like 48 other United States are currently doing for these children.

It will only take $14 million, of the $320 million available, to help 1,000 Special Needs Children for 2 years! We all want these children to have a positive future in Indiana and not end up becoming burdens to our society. Please Help them to have a Forever Family!
