Section "Foster care and adoption" cleanup

Without my realizing it, one of my cleanup edits today avoided a WP:COPYVIO problem - the text

As one of the City’s largest and most highly-regarded foster care service providers, The New York Foundling is responsible for more than 1,400 children who are living in individual and specialized foster boarding homes or in group residential settings. Each year, more than 120 of The Foundling’s foster parents make their bonds with their foster children permanent through adoption. For those children in foster care who are “freed” and may be legally adopted, The Foundling carefully screens adoptive parents to ensure the formalization of the relationship is in the best interest of the child, in the long term.

seems to have been lifted directly from http://www.nyfoundling.org/what-we-do/foster-care-and-adoption .

Hopefully we'll be able to remove some of the article tags soon. --CliffC (talk) 02:27, 14 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
