She has 4 or 5 of her own...the other 20+ are foster kids and they got paid to give then a home.

Just wonder how Michelle Bachmann’s endorsement will resonate with her professed Christian belief???

They were foster children, not adopted. I doubt any of them stayed vey long with the family.

I read somewhere that her husband was connected to an eating disorder clinic and some of the girls stayed with them while they went through treatment. There’s plenty of articles on the foster children. Evidently they were licensed for three girls at a time.

“The girls moved in with us and became part of our family. Most stayed with us for about 2 years; the shortest stay was a few weeks, the longest over 3 years. We had as many as four girls at once, so that’s four plus our five biological kids, making a total of nine. Quite a crew!

Some of the foster kids asked if they could go to Christian schools, but state law required them to go to public school. I am proud to say that all of our foster kids graduated from high school.”

CUNY - Hunter College of Social Work issued a comprehensive report on the basic reimbursement rates for all states in 2008. No surprise that they are low. (Big surprise on which state is the highest. But ssh - think of the children and keep it quiet.)
The Bachmanns, however, weren’t ordinary foster parents. No basic MN reimbursement rate of between $585 and $699 per month (2008 rates) for the children they took into their home. They took in children through the private agency PATH Minnesota, Inc. George Hendrickson, L.S.W., CEO of PATH disclosed that the Bachmann’s provided what is called a “treatment home.” According to the NYTimes:

That designation required a higher standard of care from parents who had the educational and emotional capability to handle “serious mental health issues.” Dr. Bachmann’s training was an asset.
They were licensed to care for up to three children at a time and received reimbursement that was at least twice the basic rate. (Currently, for three children, that would be over $50,000 a year. Not a princely sum, but ..)
