 NCPA - Study #210 - The State of the Children: An Examination of Government-Run Foster Care
Even in the six states with the highest number of foster child adoptions, there were more children awaiting adoptions at the beginning of 1997 than had been placed for adoption during the entire 1996 fiscal year.
While about two-thirds of children in foster care eventually return to their biological families, thousands of others become legally free for adoption when the rights of their biological parents are terminated by a court.
States should be required to report publicly each year the number of foster children in state care, the number free to be adopted but not in pre-adoptive placements and the number of state-approved adoptive families who have been recruited and are seeking to adopt.
