(Reriani Communications) --- On behalf of the National Crittenton Foundation, Children’s Home Society of Florida (CHS) President and CEO David Bundy participated in a work session of the Senate Foster Care Caucus on August 27 to describe how Florida’s flexible funding demonstration program has achieved record success in finding adoptive families for foster care children, while ensuring more children are kept safely with their own families and out of foster care. Without natural or adoptive families, foster youth who “age out” of care are less likely to earn high school diplomas or GEDs, and more likely to experience unemployment, homelessness, teen pregnancy or incarceration.

Based on Florida’s success, Bundy recommends the extension of Florida's critical, Title IV-E flexible funding beyond September 30, 2011, and the expansion of the flexible funding model so all states have the ability to implement the type of changes seen in Florida. Further, Bundy urges Congress to consider fundamental reform in the financing of child welfare through alignment of funding to reduce administrative costs and the replacement of eligibility linkages with funding based on a child’s need. Additional recommendations include provision of technical assistance to states, creation of a clearinghouse for innovative practices and identification of new ways to increase flexibility in funding.

(Reriani Communications) --- In the aftermath of a global financial crisis, more and more men find themselves being so-called "stay-at-home dads". Scores of layoffs - 80 percent of them affecting men - have chosen to forgo their job search and be full-time caregivers. Other men have consciously made the decision to leave the hustle and bustle of the workplace, wanting to see for themselves how it is to spend more time with their families.

The idea that mothers alone are responsible for the bulk of child rearing is changing, and the world is more accepting of fathers who choose to be more involved. The one-time stigma associated with a man staying at home to care for children has faded, if not altogether disappeared, and this is a positive step for fathers and children alike. Society is also reaping the benefits, with better-balanced children taking advantage not only of having a parent around all the time, but also from the unique perspective offered by a father - more physical play, a different take on the world and less "coddling" to foster independence.

I also have extensive experience in this area from the thousands of many criminal cases I have defended. I enjoy working with WrapArounD because of its laudable goal of keeping the vulnerable youth of Douglas County away from unproductive criminal institutions and safe at home with their families.

(Reriani Communications) --- The Children's Mutual, the leading Child Trust Fund provider, has revealed new research* that suggests parents could be facing a bill in excess of GBP100,000 if their children grow up to fulfil their career ambitions. The annual 'What I Want to Be' poll revealed that among five, six and seven year-olds, becoming a teacher, doctor or vet are the jobs of choice. The Children's Mutual warned parents to start saving now as the latter two could cost GBP116,000 and GBP117,000 respectively in 18 years' time.

Tony Anderson, Marketing Director of The Children's Mutual, said: "Parents tell us their young children are highly ambitious and that they, as parents, fully intend to help them fund their futures. But the sums of money the top careers command could cause financial nightmares for families who don't plan ahead. While the Coalition Government has announced its plan to significantly reduce payments into Child Trust Funds from 1 August 2010 and to abolish the scheme altogether for new babies born from 1 January 2011, the reality is that the cost of children's futures hasn't changed. We believe that the only way for parents to financially manage these costs is by saving regularly over the long term and are urging them to continue doing so."
