The Listening to Parents project has struck a nerve, both in the general public and in the child welfare community. The Associated Press article announcing the publication of the Listening to Parents project appeared in most newspapers in the United States in March of 2005. Hundreds of people from all over the country have sent emails describing their own frustrating experiences. Many child welfare magazines and newsletters wrote stories about the project or reprinted the Executive Summary.
