Scars heal slowly as Romanian orphans find new lives

August 10 2002

Fresh air, good food and love have transformed the lives of more than 80 children who have been adopted by Australian families, reports Julie Szego.

Michael was two when his adoptive parents, Michelle and John Levine, collected him from a Romanian orphanage. They found a toddler who recoiled from blankets and teddy bears, but watched with intense concentration the pouring of water from a cup or blades of grass gliding to the ground. He cuddled up to complete strangers and, for reasons still mysterious, shrieked in distress during visits to the doctor, especially if they involved removing his shoes.

Ms Levine recalls that her son - now "articulate, energetic and exuberant" - couldn't speak at all, despite his age. "He made funny little sounds," she says, "although he always seemed to understand what we were saying."

Family First Act, Proposed Overhaul of IV-E, Dies as Senate Adjourns

Family First Act, Proposed Overhaul of IV-E, Dies as Senate Adjourns

by John Kelly September 29, 2016

The U.S. Senate adjourned this afternoon, and in doing so ended any chance for the Family First Prevention Services Act of 2016, a bill that would have dramatically altered the federal IV-E entitlement, the largest conduit of funds to states for child welfare services.

Family First was conceived of by Senate Finance Committee leaders Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) and Ron Wyden (D-Ore.), and paired two legislative objectives: increasing federal investment in services aimed at preventing the need for foster care, and curbing federal spending on congregate care.

Wyden and Hatch negotiated a bill with House Ways and Means leadership that used a delay in new federal spending on adoption assistance to make the act a cost-neutral proposition. Ways and Means marked Family First up in June, and it passed in the House the next week.
