This same couple had another child and had their rights terminated on him before these two were even born. I don't know the particulars, but as I understand it, dad was in prison when mom lost her rights and he signed his off voluntarily since he was incarcerated. That little boy has since been adopted.

Ten years ago, when Republicans won the house, Newt made a statement about orphanages, causing a big hubbaloo. I thought he was right then and I do now.

If a child is to be taken from parents by the state, they should be placed in state sanctioned orphanages. Therefore, this shuffling around of the child would cease as they would stay there until the parents straighten up their lives or are forced to give up all rights to the child and allow them to be adopted. Well run orphanages could offer security and stability to a child's life. And volunteers who truly love children would be allowed to interact in their lives under much controlled supervision, taking out the money factor in caretaking a child.
