In 2008, the MCYS suspended the budget increases to all CAS agencies after their budgets were already approved. While some agencies with steady population growth were able to adjust easily, others such as York CAS which have a tremendous influx of people have not been able to meet the needs of children within their community. This province wide cut has caused CAS agencies to drastically re-think the way they care for children. Kinship care, which is a close relative caring for a child while still being funded has been used beyond what it was intended for simply to relieve budgetary pressures. A child in kinship care costs a CAS much less than regular foster care which is one of the reasons it has always been used, however, children have consistently been placed with abusive and neglectful family members (knowingly by CAS) because they simply cannot afford to keep that child in care. Rushed adoptions are another area that has been of concern over the past few years. The haste in which adoptions are now conducted has been alarming to most people involved in the welfare of crown ward children. It has been rumoured that there is a bursary remuneration for adoption workers who can find an adoptive home as fast as possible without any regard for the well being of the child. In many cases the adoption "breaks down" which means the adoptive parents realize they do not have the skills to take care of a child with the emotional and/or physiological problems that come with children who have had to be removed from their natural family and the child has to re-enter foster care which only adds to the trauma surrounding the youth in care.
