About this sermon
A new study is shedding light on what it says are problems with foster care in the United States. Currently there are around 390,000 children in foster homes. According to numbers from the America First Policy Institute, one-third of the foster children experience instability with at least 3 placements per year. Of those who are too old to remain in foster care, 20% are left homeless. Recommendations from AFPI include increased support for faith-based groups and expanded tax credits for foster families. Senior Vice President for Engagement for Lifeline Children's Services, a Christian organization providing outreach to vulnerable children, Dr. Rick Morton, joins to share what stood out to him the most about the study. Dr. Morton tells us more about the solutions starting with the work done by faith-based organizations like his own and in what ways they could receive more support. He fills us in on what some suggestions are for improving foster care in the US. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
