About 112,000 children and youth in the U.S. foster care system are currently waiting for adoptive families. AdoptUSKids is a national project of the Children’s Bureau that supports child welfare systems and helps connect children in foster care with families through initiatives like a photo-listing website of eligible children and public information campaigns to recruit foster and adoptive parents.
Since 2002, professor Ruth McRoy and her team at the Steve Hicks School of Social Work have been working with AdoptUSKids. They provide evaluation data and analyses to assist with programming decisions and quality improvement of all services that AdoptUSKids offer.
