Casey Family Programs
Casey Family Programs is the nation’s largest operating foundation focused on safely reducing the need for foster care while improving the safety and well-being of children. We are dedicated to building Communities of Hope, where all children can grow up safely in their own families and communities with access to the resources and opportunities they need to reach their full potential. Founded in 1966, we work across all 50 states, Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and with Tribal Nations to build lasting change by supporting communities in transforming how they protect and nurture the safety and well-being of children and their families.www.casey.org

When youth who are or have been in foster care have children themselves, they hit the radar of Child Protective Services in a way the general population does not.

A 2010 study from Casey Family Programs found that while 1% of U.S. children enter the foster care system, 8% of youth who have children and were in foster care have had a child placed in foster care.
Christy RenickHOST
The statistics are even more alarming for youth who are still in foster care.
Christy RenickHOST
While no American study has examined this, a 2018 study of 576 Canadian mothers in foster care found that nearly half lost their children to that same system.

Uh, we worked, we've worked very closely with Generations United just to understand and learn why is this so important and how can we do it better.
