Kids spend too much time in foster care, advocacy group says
Too many Pennsylvania kids taken from troubled homes are spending more than a year in foster care, according to the child advocacy group Pennsylvania Partnership for Children. In a report released today, PPC noted that nearly 30 percent of foster children spend 17 months or more in temporary living arrangements. Statewide, it takes an average 31 months for a foster child to be adopted.
Hi, I would like to comment on foster children spending too much time in foster care. Our situation is we were never a troubled family and child was never taken from my husband and I. Natural mother placed child with CYS of PA and nothing has been found with my husband and I where we could not raise his daughter but yet they keep this child in their custody for four years now. Child should have been placed with natural father my husband as soon as he took his classes and proven he was a suitable parent but now they kept this up for the past four years now. It does not take that long to find out if we are fit for her. They just figured my husband would have quit by now. FOUR YEARS HERE in NEPA needlessly folks!
