Medpage Today: For Many in Child Welfare, 2020 Is a Lost Year
Medpage Today recently spoke with The Foundling on a report detailing how the COVID-19 pandemic has stifled family visitation in the foster care system, stalling the reunification process.
“Each day that birth parents spend away from their children takes a toll on their well being, said Liyan Bao, vice president of Placement Permanency Support at New York Foundling. We have had some families who have just been completely discouraged by all of this, not being able to have their kids go home to them, and they were on the right track,” Bao told MedPage Today.
