Black/African American children are overrepresented in the child welfare system. In our region, 70% of youth in foster care are Black/African American; compared to 35% of the general population.
However, historically, only 13% of non-relative foster parents are Black/African American. Engaging and supporting Black/African American communities in the training and retention of foster parents is vital for creating a more equitable child welfare program.
