I'm genuinely curious about the ratio of black foster parents to white. Ate white people adopting black children more often than black parents? If so, why?[/quote]

Oh, this one is easy. Black folks not only lose their kids at a higher rate than whites, and often for less serious issues, but they also have a much harder time getting approved as foster parents even for their own relatives.

"A national study of child protective services by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services reported that "minority children, and in particular African American children, are more likely to be in foster care placement than receive in-home services, even when they have the same problems and characteristics as white children" [emphasis added]. Most white children who enter the system are permitted to stay with their families, avoiding the emotional damage and physical risks of foster care placement, while most black children are taken away from theirs. And once removed from their homes, black children remain in foster care longer, are moved more often, receive fewer services, and are less likely to be either returned home or adopted than any other children."[/quote]
