Speaker's Task Force on Adoption Holds Third Public Hearing

This week the Speaker’s Task Force on Adoption met in Balsam Lake where they took testimony from community stakeholders to learn about the problems many face when trying to adopt children in Wisconsin.

Last session, I served on the Speaker’s Task Force on Foster Care where we learned about the difficulties facing the child welfare system in Wisconsin. At the conclusion of several statewide public hearings, the task force came forward with recommendations for legislation that passed the Assembly and aimed to improve the foster care system in Wisconsin.

We learned through the committee that the adoption process is long, difficult and expensive in Wisconsin bringing about the need for the adoption task force to address those issues. The adoption task force will build off the efforts of the foster care task force from the previous session.

I look forward to seeing the recommendations that come from the task force.
