Subject: Tracking of pregnant and parenting teens in foster care

Hello all, 

I am a doctoral student at Loma Linda University and I am  interested in
understanding how many pregnant and parenting teens are in foster care.
I have not been able to locate a reliable source for recent numbers (or
even estimates!). Does anyone know of an agency which might be tracking
and counting pregnant and parenting foster youth?

Thanks for your help. 

Rhoda Smith
