particularly dire situation of African American children being removed from
their homes disproportionately, the parental rights being terminated and their
subsequent long stays in foster care, often until they age out. This article was
based in part on figures that are at this point a decade old.</SPAN></FONT></P>

style="FONT-SIZE: 14pt; COLOR: navy; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Where can I find the
more recent figures for children in foster care, by race, likelihood of
adoption, etc? I know the Anna E Casey foundation came out with a study recently
on Latino infants in foster care, but that was based on 15 cities only, if I
remember—I don’t know how representative it is. I am wondering if Charlow’s
observations continue to hold true, if the situation has improved or
deteriorated, how it is for American Indian children, etc. Any thoughts on
this?</SPAN></FONT></P>
