Federal foster care bill could prevent Muslims being placed with non-Muslim families


Mrs. Amer and her husband, Ahmed, struggled for two decades after losing three children to a state foster care system in the United States. The Ahmer’s were estranged from their children after they were put in foster care by the state of Michigan’s Child Protective Services, following the accidental death of their two-year-old son Samier in 1985. Samier suffered from a brittle bone disease and died from injuries that he suffered in a fall.
