  • Summary

    The case demonstrates how disproportionality and disparity for children and youth of color are significant concerns in child welfare. Black children in the United States experience higher rates of child welfare investigation, removal from their families of origin, termination of parental rights, placement moves, fewer appropriate services, and are less likely to be reunified with their parents compared to White children. Because African American children are less likely to exit foster care through reunification than White children, increasing reunification rates for African American families is one way to address racial disproportionality and disparity in child welfare cases. Considering intersectionality through a CRT lens is essential for providing culturally appropriate service in the foster care/child welfare system.
