I do support the adoption bill, but it simply does not go far enough. What about the 400,000 children in foster care who are not candidates for adoption? As David Liederman of the Child Welfare League writes in today's New York Times: ``Many foster children have emotional and physical disabilities. The adoption of these kids will require more than just a one-time tax credit.'' ... It would be a tragedy if we did not use this important opportunity to move forward and reform a foster care system that is and that leaves thousands of children in difficult and dangerous environments.
