About the Children
According to the most recent data, there are currently more than 400,000 children in foster care ranging from infants to 21 years of age. All of these children have experienced loss and some form of trauma and are learning to grow in a stable environment. The average child remains in foster care approximately a year and in most cases reunifies with the parents and/or family.
