If we have to get a child out of an abusive home situation. we want to give a little assistance to the foster family or the adopting parents. Now. there is one group of children left out in the cold in the current Dole bill. And that is legal immigrant children who have been brought Into this country completely in accordance with all the laws. Unfortunately. the way that the bill is now drawn. they would be ineligible for Federal foster care and adoption assistance. Now. we know that the Dole bill restricts benefits to legal immigrants. and there are certain exemptions to that. Such things as immunizations. emergency medical care. and emergency disaster relief are exempted. I believe we should exempt foster care and adoption assistance.
