    The opioid crisis is making the #fostercare crisis worse. While many look to #adoption as the only solution, we also need gov’t, communities, churches, & nonprofits to work together to support family preservation & reunification. #NFCM2018 #FosterCareMonthhttp://thehill.com/blogs/congress-blog/politics/390026-fighting-the-opioid-and-foster-crisis-by-supporting-families …

        #fostercare has become #fostercustody for Black children! We at #BlackMothersForum are not only fighting the #schooltoprisonpipeline but also the #fostercaretoprisonpipeline

        Exactly...our state has the most women incarcerated not only in our country but in the entire world!..most of the women are incarcerated due to drug charges, which leads to larger numbers of foster care children..we need to help mothers instead of punishing them for being poor!

        Opioid crisis created by the drug companies and you come out against SQ788 claiming damage from recreational use. What damage aside from criminal prosecution are you taking about?

        You can’t call yourself a Christian and be against marijuana! Legalization would reduce dependence on opioids! Read Gen 1:29! Your not above god! I will not vote for you again!

        Until we #BuildTheWall we can never even make a dent in the fentanyl crisis. When we have semi trucks putting liquid drugs in one of their fuel tanks then crossing our border.. make a real effort on illegal drugs.

        I'm not advocating a soft on crime stance. I'm advocating a living wage making it not worth taking the chance to sell opioids on the street. There is a poverty component to some of this. The remaining subset of population that will be addicted regardless need treatment/mental hlt

        You know what’s making adoption and foster care worse in Oklahoma? GOP Gov Mary Fallin’s new law allowing agencies to discriminate against loving parents who just happen to be gay. Please spare us your holier than thou GOP rhetoric.

        Then the government needs to funds it. Parishioners and people who volunteer in non-profits are barely able to stay afloat financially themselves due to the cost of living is so high and that starts with lowering gas prices as it causes a domino effect.

        Gas is almost $3.00 a gallon which has doubled the cost of food. Start looking at the bean, rice, and cheap pizza aisle in the grocery store and compare it to the fresh fruit, veggie, meat, and dairy aisle. The cheap pizza, bean, and rice aisle are flying off the shelve bc people
