Show Notes
Thousands of parents across the U.S. are resorting to foster care to access mental health treatment for their children, as revealed by a new survey. Over twenty-eight thousand kids have been relinquished since 2014, with families hitting a wall with no options left for severe issues. Some states even charge parents with abandonment for this. However, other states offer voluntary placement deals. Most of these kids come from biological parents, not adoptive ones. This practice breaks families apart, traumatizes kids, and overloads foster systems. States are starting to push back with changes, but many kids still age out or stay stuck without permanent spots.
