Description
There is a profound crisis in the United States' foster care system, Jill Duerr Berrick writes. No state has passed the federally mandated Child and Family Service Review; two-thirds of the state systems have faced class-action lawsuits demanding change; well over half of all children who enter foster care never go home.
