About this sermon
May is National Foster Care Month and a new study claims some in the foster care community are being housed in inappropriate places. The report from the American Enterprise Institute says in part that some older foster children and those with special needs are living in temporary settings that include hospital rooms and even homeless shelters. As of September 2021, there were around 400,000 US children living in foster care. The report has some surprising revelations, one being that according to the Philadelphia Inquirer, a lack of available housing means some foster children are being housed in office buildings. One of the authors of the study and president and executive director of Lifeline Children's Services, the largest evangelical adoption organization in the US, Herbie Newell, joins to share what some of the findings that stood out are. Another item in the report says 4 out of 5 children and adolescents in foster care have developed mental and emotional illnesses. Newell tells us more about this. He discusses in what ways the government is helping or not helping foster care children and what he would like to see happen. Newell fills us in on any final thoughts. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
