Foster Care and Our Children

Parenting has a Standard.  We are all affected.

Facts:

Black or African American children are disproportionately more likely than other children to be reported, investigated, substantiated, and placed in foster care.

Twenty-seven percent of the children in foster care are African American, double the percent of African American children in the population in America.

Children of color, especially black children, and often American Indian children, face significant disparity within the child welfare system. They are more likely to have longer placements in out-of-home care, are less likely to receive comprehensive services, and are less likely to reunify with their families than white children.
More than 250,000 children in the U.S. enter the foster care system every year. While more than half of these children will return to their parents, the remainder will stay in the system. Most of these children are living with foster families, but some also live in group facilities.
