Conn. may consider more foster home options for young children to live with non-relatives
Daily Journal - Conn. may consider more foster home options for young children to live with non-relatives
HARTFORD, Conn. — Child welfare advocates say they're encouraged that Connecticut's state Senate has endorsed a bill expanding the types of foster homes considered for young children.
The bill would remove a restriction that says only children 10 and older can be placed with non-relatives with whom they have close relationships.
Department of Children and Families Commissioner Joette Katz says that can include godparents, previous stepparents and others qualified to house the children. They can be "special study" foster parents for up to 90 days before they must seek a foster home license.
Katz says removing the age limit would provide more foster care options for younger children with people they already know and trust.
The Senate unanimously approved the measure last week and sent it to the House of Representatives to consider.

PROVIDENCE — The state House Judiciary Committee Tuesday evening approved a bill that, if enacted, would reshuffle the current lineup of towns served by the Judiciary Department’s district courts, moving several of them to the courthouse in Warwick.
A bill that deals with how children in DCYF custody should be informed of their legal rights as foster children drew emotional testimony from women who said their children had been put in the custody of either abusive spouses or foster homes, and from adults who spent time in the custody of DCYF and suffered abuse during those times.
