An average foster baby will live in three different homes before his first birthday. On average, a child will remain in foster care for 26.6 months.

2 percent get a Bachelor’s degree or higher
84 percent become parents too soon, exposing their children to a repeated cycle of neglect and abuse
51 percent are unemployed
30 percent have no health insurance
25 percent experience homelessne
30 percent receive public assistance
These figures are five years old.
