This week's speakers will include, Chairman of NY State Children & Families, Assemblyman Roger Green, NY City Councilwoman Ronnie Eldridge, former family court judge the Honorable Karen Burstein, and Rev. Al Sharpton. There will also be testimony from several parents, a former foster child and a grandmother who is searching for her grandchild who was put up for adoption against her wishes by ACS. This is the first in a series to air excerpts of testimonies by parents, legislators, advocates and others in search of more sensitive and effective ways of dealing with foster care's negative impact on children & families of color in NYC. more >>
