Opioids swamping child welfare system
Hannah and her husband Jesus Origel, both 30, of Brighton Heights talk with the Post-Gazette at the offices of Pressley Ridge on March 26, 2018, in McCandless. The couple has fostered around a dozen children, including one born in withdrawal. “I know I got to play a role in that child’s life and I saw tremendous healing,” said Mrs. Origel. They’ve kept in touch with the adoptive family of the child, who recently turned 3. (Stephanie Strasburg/Post-Gazette)
