Mr. President. we know that children are placed into foster care because a judge determines that there is a serious risk of the child being hurt in the current home. So I know that my colleagues on both sides of the aisle do not want to single out legal immigrant children and say that we are going to walk away from them. Under the current billand I hope it is Just an oversight. Mr. President -legal immigrant children would be made ineligible for title IVE foster care or adoption assistance due to the fact that there is no exemption for it. We know that title IVE foster care and adoption assistance helps atrisk children get placed in the homes where they will be safe from abuse and neglect. The adoption assistance is used to help families pay for special needs that the children have.
