National program aims to find more Spanish-speaking foster parents
Tagged: children, non-profit, parents
The two families are local examples of what a new national campaign hopes to accomplish: encourage Spanish-speaking families to adopt children in the U.S. foster care system. The non-profit Advertising Council is teaming up on the campaign with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Administration for Children and Families and the Collaboration to AdoptUsKids.
About 514,000 children are in foster care in the United States, about 115,000 of whom are available for adoption. The majority are black boys; Latino children make up about 15 percent. Every year, more than 24,000 children “age out” of the foster care system without having been permanently placed with families.”*
