In the 1990s, foster youth began a newspaper written by and for themselves. They appeared in the radio, on TV, and gave deeply personal interviews. So why didn't anyone hear their voices in the lead up to the passage of the biggest child welfare reform bill, the 1997 Adoption and Safe Families Act?

We should end TPR because the state should not have the power to orphan children. TPR is wrong because there are less intrusive ways to ensure child safety and permanence. Thrilled the American Bar Assn is pushing this initiative and looking forward to being in conversation with family defenders.
