Permanency Data We analyzed statistics for child welfare in Sangamon County, particularly focusing on the disproportionality between African- American and Caucasian children in the system We also compared the finding in Sangamon County to national statistics.

Permanency Data From the percentage of Caucasian children that did not have an indicated report was slightly higher than that of African American children. This is consistent with Hill (2006), that more reports of child abuse are submitted to child protect services for African Americans than Caucasians.

Permanency Data The amount of African American children entering substitute care increased. The amount of Caucasian children increased also, though not as significantly

Permanency Data African American children consistently were in more placements than Caucasians Hill (2006) reports that African Americans in the system receive fewer services and lower quality service than Caucasians.

Permanency Data Kinship care increased for both groups, but traditional foster care remained predominant Specialized care and institutional care was higher for African-Americans. Hill (2006) found that African American children in foster care are more likely to have medical conditions, mental disabilities, & psychological problems.

Permanency Data There was 4 years in which African American children were in substitute care longer than Caucasian children Brown (2008) found African American Children stay in foster care longer due to difficulty recruiting adoptive parents, lack of services for birth parents, and a greater reliance on relatives to provide foster care.

Permanency Data

From 2000 to 2006, there were not significant differences between the rates of reunification at 12 mo. There was a difference of 1% to 12% more Caucasian children that were adopted than African American children at 24 mo. At 36 mo. African American children were less likely to be adopted, but more likely to be reunified (with the exception of 2004).
