Children of a Lesser State

A contractual snafu keeps kids from their foster and adoptive parents

Denson, who is an adoptive father, has been at this struggle for a long time, and he's not quitting.

"People act like these kids don't matter. The proof of the pudding is that they're unwilling to invest money into finding homes for them," he says. "Instead, they allow people to believe that there are no children waiting for adoption, that for any child available there are 10 families scrambling to adopt them. The truth of the matter is just the opposite. The state is ridiculously wasting our tax dollars keeping kids in the system instead of finding homes for kids."
