US: Black in Foster Care (Opinion)

July 20, 2016 by Greg Cywnar

➡ From Child Welfare Information Gateway NJ:

US: Black in Foster Care (Opinion)
Chronicle of Social Change – July 15, 2016
I began believing that group homes, considered markedly more restrictive than foster homes and for “harder to place” children, were designated for black children. And with constant messages about our “behavioral issues,” and the stark difference in experiences for those in foster homes, considered somewhat more positive, my adolescent mind concluded that group homes were for bad kids.
