NOIRA
 

 

I OPPOSE THE REGULATORY ACTION DESCRIBED IN NOIRA "ADDITIONAL DAILY SUPERVISION RATE STRUCTURE (22 VAC 40 - 221)."

 

I'm neighbors with a family that has been foster parents for over 13 years. I have watched them sacrifice so much for the children. They have helped so many become bright young adults. When they take the children into their home the children have so many issues. It is the foster parents who help the children, they have them 24/7. They are the ones up all night holding a crying child, the ones sitting at the hospital all night, the ones that get called to school, take them to work  etc....... I could go on and on the things they go out of their way to do. And they are the only people that  do all this. You all want to repay them this way. It is only going to hurt the children in the long run. We all know that it is the foster parents that are the backbone to helping the children.
