Programs Aim At Keeping Kids In Stable Homes · OPB News
Kids in Oregon are twice as likely as children nationwide to be placed in foster care. And child advocates say that's a problem.
Mainly because national statistics on the success of foster kids aren't good -- a quarter have been homeless at least once by age 23, and almost half have been on food stamps by the same age.
In fact, the feds are pushing states to reduce their reliance on foster care.

Custody battle brewing in Waterford-Foster Stranger's Think Their Entitled To Keep Stolen Child
Custody battle brewing in Waterford | WTNH.com Connecticut
WATERFORD, Conn. (WTNH) - A custody battle continues to brew tonight after the state took a child out of what seemed to be an unfit home and placed her in foster care.
Now the child's biological parents say they want their kid back, but the foster parents won't let that happen without a fight.
Too many Foster stranger's don't want to give the children back. Maybe DCYF doesn't tell them ahead of time, it's only supposed to be temporary. Maybe DCYF should stop telling Foster's, chances are, the children will most likely never go home to their parent's. Been there!

Blacks, Native Americans Highly Overrepresented in Foster Care, Report Shows
Youth Today
Most states continue to place high rates of African-American children in foster care, said a recent report on race and foster care by the National Council of Juvenile and Family Court Justices (NCJFCJ).
The report, Disproportionality Rates for Children of Color in Foster Care, breaks down the disproportionality rates of children in foster care for each state in 2004 and 2009. Disproportionality is calculated in this study by taking the population of children in foster care for a particular race and dividing it by the proportion of the same racial group in the child population.
