Amendment No. 12, as modified, offered by

Mr. BURTON of Indiana: Page 85, after line 15,

insert the following:

SEC. 205. SENSE OF THE CONGRESS REGARDING

TIMELY ADOPTION OF CHILDREN.

It is the sense of the Congress that—

(1) too many children who wish to be

adopted are spending inordinate amounts of

time in foster care;

(2) there is an urgent need for States to increase the number of waiting children being

adopted in a timely and lawful manner.

(3) Studies have shown that States spend

an excess of $15,000 each year on each special

needs child in foster care, and would save

significant amounts of money if they offered

incentives to families to adopt special needs

children;

(4) States should allocate sufficient funds

under this title for adoption assistance and

medical assistance to encourage more families to adopt children who otherwise would

languish in the foster care system for a period that many experts consider detrimental

to their development;

(5) State should offer incentives for families that adopt special needs children to

make adoption more affordable for middleclass families;

(6) when it is necessary for a State to remove a child from the home of the child’s biological parents, the State should strive—

(A) to provide the child with a single foster

care placement and a single coordinated case

team; and

(B) to conclude an adoption of the child,

when adoption is the goal of the child and

the State, within one year of the child’s

placement in foster care; and

(7) States should participate in local, regional, or national programs to enable maximum visibility of waiting children to potential parents. Such programs should include a

nationwide, interactive computer network to

disseminate information on children eligible

for adoption to help match them with families around the country.
