If they are taken out of certain situations, the family might not cooperate with the requests for documentation from the social workers. And most/all foster kids are on some type of medicaid. -hk I read somewhere else this will affect foster kids as well.

Does anyone know if they are fighting this? Rural elderly black people simply DO NOT have birth documentation. They can never get it either...unless there are a lot of 120 year olds around who witnessed their births, which there aren't. What can we DO about this? Who do we call?

Since it was the Army Corps of Engineers who did this to us, the Feds are basically saying: no medical care unless you can produce what we destroyed -- talk about adding insult to injury.
