The rate changes that will occur if 22 VAC 40-221 is implemented are unfair and unjust.  This action will come more as a punishment to most foster children and parents that have worked hard to achieve success. Many foster parents have enrolled their foster children in academic programs to improve their academics and prepare them for the next steps in their lives. There are foster parents that have certain diet plans to ensure that their children are eating well and not consuming do much sugar or caffeine, which helps the children with physical, oral, and behavioral wellness. We all want the best for these children and we want them to have a good and nurturing childhood that will make them into health, happy, and successful adults. All of the actions that these parents have put into place in caring for their foster children cost money. Raising a child no matter wither they are a foster child or no, cost money. Taking away from the children for their achievements is clearly and undeniably wrong.  Investing in their future so that they can be strong successful people later only adds to the achievement and success of their community, Virginia as a state, and the Country as a whole. I am aware that there are inconsistences in the rate program as of now but these issues should be looked at specifically instead of as a whole. I strongly oppose the regulatory action in NOIRA Additional Daily Supervision Rate Structure (22 VAC 40-221), especially, with the implementation of regulations that have been tested in other states with little to no success.
