Who are the children placed in foster care?
The children in the child welfare system are as varied as children everywhere. As a society, these are our children. They are all ages, all economic levels, all races, religions and colors. Some children have some significant emotional, behavioral, and/or physically developmental needs. All children who are placed in foster care also have significant strengths and gifts. All of us have a part to play in helping to focus on these strengths, even when we’re sometimes frustrated or confused by some children’s behaviors.
