On the recordNovember 13, 1997

I think today is a great day for our Nation's foster and adoptive children. Today is the day that Congress improves our foster care laws and eases the pathway for adoption. Since 1980, foster care children have entered a system that has often worked against them, making foster care a permanent answer instead of a temporary solution to their problems. In 1980 Congress enacted the Adoption Assistance and Child Welfare Act, which sought to improve the foster care system.
