Re: Race of foster care and adopted children and their caregivers
<x-html><html>
Hi Barbara,<br>
<br>
These questions can be answered with the Children's Bureau's
administrative data effort known as AFCARS (Adoption and Foster Care
Analysis and Reporting System). The AFCARS data files for 1995 to 1998
are available from the National Data Archive on Child Abuse and Neglect
(<a href="http://www.ndacan.cornell.edu/"; eudora="autourl">www.ndacan.cornell.edu</a>).
Among the data elements in the files, variables for the child's race and
the race of the foster parents or adoptive parents can be found. <br>
<br>
A summary of foster care and adoption statistics at the national level
using the AFCARS data can be found at the following address, though your
particular questions are not addressed: <br>
<a href="http://www.acf.dhhs.gov/programs/cb/stats/tarreport/rpt10004/ar1000.htm"; eudora="autourl">http://www.acf.dhhs.gov/programs/cb/stats/tarreport/rpt10004/ar1000.htm</a><br>
<br>
Please let me know directly (not via the list!) if I can help.<br>
<br>
Thanks, <br>
Elliott<br>
