No. 15; Updated October 2015. Approximately 120,000 children are adopted each year in the United States. Children with physical, developmental, or emotional handicaps who were once considered difficult to place with a new family are now being adopted (special needs adoptions). Adoption helps many of these children to grow up in permanent families rather than in foster homes or institutions.
Foster parents play an essential role in providing temporary, safe, nurturing homes for children when their parents are unable to care for them. New York State continues to find permanent safe and caring homes for our children. The number of children in foster care in New York State has decreased from 53,902 children in 1995 to 16,215 as of December 31, 2016. There have been tremendous strides made in bringing families together across New York State. Please consider becoming a foster parent.
