Jedd pointed out a Nebraska case over the weekend and I think it's a fascinating piece of the 'orphan in America' puzzle. It continues the discussion of if an orphan can have two living parents.....here is an taste of what they had to say:
""While conservation of public resources is a worthy objective, it cannot justify the legal perpetuation of a parental relationship which no longer exists in fact, thereby permitting an abandoned child to linger indefinitely in foster care," Justice Kenneth Stephan wrote in the high court's unanimous decision.
"We agree with the observation of the juvenile court that the position taken by DHHS has made (the girl) a 'de facto orphan.'"
