“Child and family services spaulding for children kept children from entering foster care by teaching and supporting 49 parents to safely care for them in their homes. We provided foster care services to 130 children, licensed 6 new foster homes, placed 53 children who were entering foster care. Child and family services supported and empowered 11 families to overcome their challenges and eliminated safety concerns so that their children could be safely reunited with them. We found permanent families for 17 children and youth who needed one; they are now thriving in the care of their adoptive families. As of september 30, 2019, we were placing youth in 32 different foster homes and 34 relative homes in hopes to build stronger families and communities. We also matched 10 children awaiting adoption with prospective families and renewed the agency's child placing agency. Held our first webinar on transracial adoption and black lives matter movement with over 853 participants.”

“Institute we conducted the hospital-based adoption services (hbass)project to coordinate training to improve hospital-based adoption support services for pregnant and expectant mothers. The understanding infant adoption training curriculum was used to help build and develop the capacity of 3,699 individuals in approximately 1,850 hospitals in 41 states. The critical on-going resource family education (core-teen) developed a state-of-the-art training program to equip resource parents to meet the needs of older youth who have moderate to severe emotional and behavioral challenges. The curriculum has been piloted and rigorously evaluated in three states (florida, pennsylvania, & tennessee) and one tribe (eastern band of cherokee, nc). Academy the national training and development curriculum (ntdc) was able to implement the curriculum into 7 states, 1 tribal nation and 3 agencies that serve families who want to adopt via the private domestic process or intercountry. The project was able to pivot to allow a curriculum designed for classroom-based training to be successful when done remotely. In addition to the pilot sites, maine and the virgin islands have decided to implement ntdc as their primary training for prospective foster and adoptive parents. The national quality improvement center for support and preservation (qic- ag) was granted an additional year from the children's bureau and used this time to expand its technical support and dissemination of products to help sites across the country augment the scope, quality and accessibility of post permanency services. The qic-ag continued to partner with six of the original eight pilot sites to enhance their continuum of services offered to adoptive or guardianship families. These sites include illinois, vermont, tennessee, wisconsin, winnebago tribe of nebraska and catawba county, north carolina. The qic-ag also brought on two new sites, maryland and north dakota. The qic-ag created a podcast series that highlights key messages that offer a simple yet meaningful call to action to the child welfare community and allied professionals about the importance of supporting families who are moving toward or who have achieved permanence. The minority professional leadership development (mpld) had the second cohort of 15 fellows complete the year-long program. Many of the mpld fellows and alumni have been featured in articles and asked to present at various conferences related to the work that they did during the fellowship. In its third year, the project has already received applications from 33 different states and has had fellows in the program from 24 different states, tribes or territories. The third cohort of 16 fellows was selected and began the program with a graduation date planned for september 2021.”
