Bill Clinton actually said...

"I'm especially pleased to be able to take this action now, in this season of hope and light."

"Adoption must be a national concern throughout the year."

"I believe we should increase the number of children who are adopted or permanently placed from the public foster care system each year toward the goal of at least doubling that number by the year 2002..."

"The goal for every child in our Nation's public welfare system is permanency in a safe and stable home."
