Montanari, who runs a private home for rejected children in Hialeah, Fla.: "To avoid the risk of failure, social workers set up so many standards that most people can't qualify, and we have thousands of children who stay in institutions because no one is allowed to take them." In a famed case last year, New Jersey state welfare workers tried unsuccessfully to take a four-year-old girl from her foster parents so that another couple could adopt her. The official reason: the foster parents were...
