OK, let me get this straight: The City of New York will certify any kind of whacko to be a foster parent -- and they do; just read the paper every once in a while -- but it is concerned about whether or not prospective foster parents SMOKE?

These people are sick.

I still care, this is the story I was referencing in the other thread. Incredible.

She Lion, I don't always agree with your posts but I have to say there are times when bureaucrats are beyond insane in their priorities. This is one of those times.

This is hysterical.

Many of my generation smoked liked mad before,during,and after pregancy and we were the baby-boomer parents. I think we did a pretty good job.

Since smoking rates have gone down kids have more asthma,allergies and the condition ADHD than any other time in recent history.

Maybe they should look for foster parents that smoke.

Bell pointed out that central Harlem - where a significant number of children come into the foster-care system - also has the highest asthma rate in the city.

Smoking and Asthma has no connection, take a look at the poluted outside air.

Blooming has flipped his lid.
