1. Introduction
Foster care in New York City has been constantly providing shelter for
children who are neglected or in need. Matching potential foster
families with the adopted children is never an easy task which calls for
resources, time and most importantly, analytical research. Our
statistical report will comment on the current foster care situation in
terms of demographics, child history, and types of foster placement.
Using these insights we will attempt to provide recommendations on how
to make New York City’s foster care more efficient.
