The adoption of a child whose biological parents rights have been terminated by the court for some reason then the foster care adoption process is started.

The state is required to initiate termination of parental rights for CERTAIN children in foster care. Is there evidence that the state really proceeds at the arbitrary 15 out of 22? Do we know how many TPR's were the result of: abandoned infant; murder of or conspiracy to murder a child; voluntary manslaughter or felony assault causing serious injuries? Removing the entire section 103 might make us more inventive in our approach to right-sizing. Or maybe there are some assumptions we must face about why the options to sever a parents physical bonds are still on the table. From what I have gathered, we keep the death-making rule in place for profit not permanence or safety. Can family policing transform if TPR remains a "safety" option? #tprmustgo #freedomiscoming

Do you work in the Out of Home Care sector? Are you a foster carer? You play an important role in recognising and supporting children and young people with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD). FASD is a lifelong disability caused by exposure to alcohol before birth. When FASD goes unrecognised, children and young people can be left without the right support, misunderstood, or even blamed for behaviours caused by their disability. Check out these free resources designed specifically to assist people working in the Out of Home Care sector and foster carers: https://buff.ly/3dtaeJf #FASD #FetalAlcoholSpectrumDisorder #NeuroDiverse #FosterCare
