    Grateful for all the houses of worship across Oklahoma & America exploring the foster care & orphan crisis today. Gov’t can’t solve this problem.... we need more families to rise up. #OrphanSunday

        Sorry, Oklahoma has cut back funding for foster care to give Oil & Gas a 1% tax, instead of 7% like other states. Koch Bros owns OK & you.

        OK has significantly reduced benefits and subsidies for my special needs foster kids. Makes it hard for families to "explore".

        Then why are you making abortion services harder to get and taking away the tax credits for foster parents and adoptive parents?

        Transference. He's trying to make up for the tax plan abandoning adoption credit through invoking churches. CYNICAL!

        Keep your vote as a no on the tax cut then, because it cuts, cuts, cuts the adoption credit.

        Please don't support the current tax bill because it repeals the $13,000 adoption credit.

        It would be interesting to see the party affiliation of those using the hashtag "orphansunday". I bet it's disproportionately @GOP in an effort to atone for a handout to the rich.
