Give Student Loan forgiveness or assistance to Foster Parents.

Many people who want to become foster parents are afraid of the financial burden that it implies. Unlike people believe the stipend foster parents receive is either just enough or under what it costs to care for the child. The relief of this financial burden would allow more families to consider to adding to their household and committing to foster parenting. Right now there is a huge need in our area for foster parenting and we are in tough economic times which makes it a hard decision. Forgiving student loans perhaps even partially would free up resources of families who feel strongly about fostering but perhaps are afraid of committing and then not being financially stable. There is student loan forgiveness for many outreaches similar to fostering and it should be included. Thank you.
