Bill boosts aid for foster kids
Advocates for children are hailing a bill, passed by Congress with little fanfare, that will help tens of thousands of children in foster care find permanent homes or improve their job prospects.
The bill will provide $3 billion over 10 years to increase adoption or guardianship of the 500,000 children in foster care. It was approved late Monday by the Senate and last week by the House. White House spokeswoman Emily Lawrimore said President Bush is expected to sign the bill.
