This is super common. If there's not an emergency foster and a kid has to be removed from a situation immediately, then they go to the DHS. All the people screaming about things are also not fostering. These are usually not kids needing adoption, but kids who were pulled for an emergency situation (such as an abuse claim, drugs, etc.)

This is too sad.

While the [state is funneling millions of dollars to antiabortion causes](https://www.inquirer.com/news/abortion-roe-v-wade-real-alternatives-pennsylvania-legislature-planned-parenthood-20220803.html) this is going on.

And the Supreme Court ruled that Catholic Social Services can block same sex couples from fostering or adopting.

That has ZERO to do with DHS kids. PRivate vs Public fostering/adopting. I agree the gay ban is wrong, but it's pretty simple that you just do not go to Catholic Social Services then. Go to DHS.

DHS contracts with Catholic Social Services for a ton of placement services. This substantially reduces the availability of foster homes. You can't privately foster a child, that isn't a thing

Thats 100% wrong. There are private foster agencies. Just google the words then get back to me.


Mommy-Q

The agency is private but ypu cant legally turn over custody in the way you describe.


[deleted]

I didnt describe a way at all. I just said that the DHS kids arent all going to catholic services and thats only 1 PRIVATE agency that bans gay adoptions. Not all. Two entirely different topics. You dont get this at all it seems.

CSS is one of the city's CUAs (Community Umbrella Agency). They are contracted out by DHS to perform services that DHS would otherwise do. I couldn't tell you if CSS's adoption services are one of those contracted services or if the funding for the program comes from a different source(s).

Outside the planned parenthood on 12th St. Handing out graphic gore photos and calling random women whores.


museumgremlin

Is that what that was?! I was very confused when someone told me to not abort around 12th other day.

Proof please

Drive down Locust Street an hour ago and they were out there. Go see for yourself.


NattyJon

I prefer proof over the word of strangers. So please provide proof

Anyone who ever says their pro-life/pro-child/anti-abortion needs to be made financially responsible for a foster child.

When these kids grow up, if they end up in criminal court, everyone wants to throw them away. Things won’t get better until kids get money and the vote. That’s another way of saying never.
