       Page 6, after line 3, insert the following:

     SEC. 100. SENSE OF THE CONGRESS.

       It is the sense of the Congress that--
       (1) marriage is the foundation of a successful society;
       (2) marriage is an essential social institution which 
     promotes the interests of children and society at large;
       (3) the negative consequences of an out-of-wedlock birth on 
     the child, the mother, and society are well documented as 
     follows:
       (A) the illegitimacy rate among black Americans was 26 
     percent in 1965, but today the rate is 68 percent and 
     climbing;
       (B) the illegitimacy rate among white Americans has risen 
     tenfold, from 2.29 percent in 1960 to 22 percent today;
       (C) the total of all out-of-wedlock births between 1970 and 
     1991 has risen from 10 percent to 30 percent and if the 
     current trend continues 50 percent of all births by the year 
     2015 will be out-of-wedlock;
       (D) \3/4\ of illegitimate births among whites are to women 
     with a high school education or less;
       (E) the 1-parent family is 6 times more likely to be poor 
     than the 2-parent family;
       (F) children born into families receiving welfare 
     assistance are 3 times more likely than children not born 
     into families receiving welfare to be on welfare when they 
     reach adulthood;
       (G) teenage single parent mothering is the single biggest 
     contributor to low birth weight babies;
       (D) children born out-of-wedlock are more likely to 
     experience low verbal cognitive attainment, child abuse, and 
     neglect;
       (I) young people from single parent or stepparent families 
     are 2 to 3 times more likely to have emotional or behavioral 
     problems than those from intact families;
       (J) young white women who were raised in a single parent 
     family are more than twice as likely to have children out-of-
     wedlock and to become parents as teenagers, and almost twice 
     as likely to have their marriages end in divorce, as are 
     children from 2-parent families;
       (K) the younger the single parent mother, the less likely 
     she is to finish high school;
       (L) young women who have children before finishing high 
     school are more likely to receive welfare assistance for a 
     longer period of time;
       (M) between 1985 and 1990, the public cost of births to 
     teenage mothers under the aid to families with dependent 
     children program, the food stamp program, and the medicaid 
     program has been estimated at $120,000,000,000;
       (N) the absence of a father in the life of a child has a 
     negative effect on school performance and peer adjustment;
       (O) the likelihood that a young black man will engage in 
     criminal activities doubles if he is raised without a father 
     and triples if he lives in a neighborhood with a high 
     concentration of single parent families; and
       (P) the greater the incidence of single parent families in 
     a neighborhood, the higher the incidence of violent crime and 
     burglary; and
       (4) in light of this demonstration of the crisis in our 
     Nation, the reduction of out-of-wedlock births is an 
     important government interest and the policy contained in 
     provisions of this title address the crisis.
       Amend the table of contents accordingly.
       Amendment No. 4, offered by Mr. Hyde:
       Page 8, line 15, strike ``births'', and insert 
     ``pregnancies.''
       Page 8, strike lines 22-25.
       Page 14, line 18, strike ``costs.'' and insert ``costs. Not 
     withstanding any other provisions of this act, a state to 
     which a grant is made under section 403 may not use any part 
     of the grant to provide medical services.''
       Amendment No. 6, offered by Mr. Talent:
       Page 22, strike the table that begins after line 2 and 
     insert the following:

                                                            The minimum
``If the fiscal year is:                         participation rate is:

       Page 65, line 2, insert after the period: The Secretary may 
     not require a state to alter its child protection law 
     regarding determination of the adequacy, type and timing of 
     health care (whether medical, non-medical or spiritual).
       Amendment No. 12, 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

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

     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 
     middle-class 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.

     15.
       (C) State Option.--Nothing in subparagraph (A) shall be

     may be used only to pay for particular goods and services 
     specified by the state as suitable for the care of the child

     specified by the State as suitable for the care of the child
