In the U.S. foster care system, the data tell the story: • In 2020, 57,881 children were adopted - only 9,839 were Black children. • Black children represent 22% of all children in foster care but only make up 14% of the US population. Kidsave's #EMBRACEProject has just released its findings, shedding light on these disparities and providing invaluable insights to help improve the experience for Black youth and Black families interacting with the child welfare system.

2023 KEYNOTE SPEAKER: REENVISIONING FOSTER CARE CHAMPION, TAKKEEM MORGAN! ❤️ "I delivered a keynote address at the Treehouse Foundation ReEnvisioning Foster Care in America conference, where I highlighted a stark reality: Despite a $30 billion expenditure, poverty remains a leading indicator of Child Welfare system involvement. This underscores the profound flaws in our approach to "protecting" children and supporting families. I posed a challenge to the audience, emphasizing that "If we want transformational change, we must invest in & develop transformational relationships." It’s not just about resources; it’s about the relational bridges we build. Over our two days together, I felt the palpable energy of change, the seeds of transformation being sown. The commitment to forge these vital connections was evident, and the momentum we’ve generated is just the beginning. I am eagerly anticipating the growth & change that will emerge from the powerful collaborations started here." #reenvisioningfostercarechampions #reenvisioningfostercare

This the tragic reality in America today - the dark pipeline from foster care to #humantrafficking. And it must be stopped. The safest place for kids is belonging in a family who have their best interest in mind. America's Kids Belong promotes healthy foster families by providing tangible community support while also finding adoptive families for kids who are eligible. This twofold approach is dramatically improving outcomes for kids in care. Stop trafficking before it starts - support the work of America's Kids Belong.
When kids enter foster care they are without a human safety net. It is heartbreaking to realize that this lack of safety net leaves children vulnerable to exploitation and trafficking. 😔 For their sake and for the well-being of our community it is our shared responsibility to ensure a safe haven for kids children in an environment that allows them to thrive, until they can be safely reunified with their families. 🏡 Learn more at https://hubs.la/Q026yz9W0 #FosterCare #PreventTrafficking #ChildWelfare

Many kinship/grandfamilies who are not in the foster care system experience isolation, especially as they navigate a family structure that isn't widely talked about or understood. It's important to support kinship/grandfamilies, and first, that means meeting them where they are.

Foster care professionals don’t just want a pat on the back this month — we want to actually make a difference. We need more child welfare professionals in the workforce to consistently provide care for children and families, especially Black, Latinx, and Indigenous professionals in decision-making roles to reflect the children in care. That’s why CWEL launched our site strategies to create sustainable, thriving workplaces. What can you do this Foster Care Month? Visit cwel.org to learn about working with CWEL or to stay in the conversation around workforce equity. #FosterCareMonth #FosterCare #ChildWelfare #CWWorkforce #DEIB #ICWA #TransformingChildWelfare #TribalChildWelfare
