Every Child Deserves A Loving Home
The Faith Foster Families Network (3FN) will embark on a foster care
and adoption initiative beginning January-June 2022.
“For The Children”, A 3FN Foster Care Initiative is aimed at educating and encouraging individuals and families of color in Los Angeles to become foster and adoptive parents. The need for new foster and adoptive parents remains great. There are over 35,000 children involved in the child welfare system in Los Angeles County. 19,000 in foster care. Nearly 80% of these children are children of color.
African American children remain disproportionately represented in the system (7.5% of L.A. county population but 27% of the foster care system) and remain the most challenging population for adoption, especially African American boys.
