New Study Released on Racial Disproportionality in Child Welfare

The Alliance for Racial Equity in Child Welfare recently released a study where they scanned eleven states in search of contributing efforts to fight the reality that children of color involved with the child welfare system generally experience worse outcomes than non-minority children. You can read the report HERE.

It's problematic that so many children in the system are not receiving the type of support and placement that the state and fed gov't intend for and can afford. Secondly, I find it problematic, and telling of the adoption system, that many adoptive parents choose to adopt children from abroad instead of their own state.

This report documents the public policy changes that are being put in place to improve the experience and outcomes of children of color within the system.
