Consider This from NPR - In Some States, An Unpaid Foster Care Bill Could Mean Parents Lose Their Kids Forever

Parents who have their kids placed in foster care often get a bill to reimburse the state for part of the cost. NPR found that in at least 12 states there are laws that say parents could lose their kids forever if they fail to pay it.
