Joey,

Good ideas. Now all we need is some leadership on the city council.

Kansas Chamber releases poll showing significant support for coal-burning power plants

Assuming that the 600 was a random sample, this poll would have a margin of error that should have been reported. If it was not a random sample the results cannot be generalized.

I think that for a random sample of 600 the margin of error would be about 4%. So the result was somewhere between 47% and 55%. Since this band covers 50% I don't think that you can report this as a majority.

The actual question should have also been reported.

Affordable Adoptions

Multi,

Yes children with disabilities can be very complicated and expensive.
The best advice is to have a full assessment of the child's needs by the best professionals around so you know what to expect. You can also use this information to get the needed assistance from SRS.

Not all of the children waiting to be adopted have these very complicated disabilities

Affordable Adoptions

Rhonda,

Most states including Kansas are open to single people adopting and I don't know of any stated age limits. Many grandparents are adopting. Of course the age of the adoptive parents and the age of the child are important considerations in making a match.

The mental health needs of foster children.

Thanks to all of you for adding to this post. The real experiences of workers, foster parents and adoptive parents are very informative. Coolmon and Dena - thanks for taking care of some of these kids. We need more people like you.The study could not address the effectiveness of the services delivered. That is another whole study but your experiences document the difficulty of getting the right services at the right time.Linda and others - feel free to share this with your legislators. The combination of the study findings and direct experiences revealed by the comments are powerful.
