New ORLEANS - after his speech at the Republican Leadership Conference, I asked presidential candidate of the Republican Party and Congressman of Minnesota Michele Bachmann on its repeated assertions that "raised" 23 adoptive children, a comment reiterated in an interview with CNN after his speech.
Writing in the daily beast this week, Michelle Goldberg cited Kris Harvieux, who worked as a social worker in the system of reception in the County of Bachmann, who said that at least some of Bachmann placements were probably in the short term.

According to Goldberg, the Department of human services of Minnesota reports license of Bachmann welcome you permitted to care for more than three children at any time; He had the license for 7 1/2 years.
Asked to explain his situation with his adoptive sons, Bachmann said: "take children and adolescents".

He asked Bachmann to explain the parameters of how long the children lived with her - was just one week? Three years?
"Varied, really varied depending on the children," said Bachmann. "And we never we have gotten into details about children because we have always sought to respect your privacy and that of their families." "As I am sure that you can see".
