Increasing Number of Oregon Children Find Permanent Homes Nutrition Information (I bar): 208 calories, 3g protein, lOg fat, 0 choles terol, 26g carbohydrates, 70mg sodium. Advantage Real Estate announces the opening of new office More Need Adoptive Families Oregon has seen a 26 percent in crease in the number of children placed for adoption while in stale care in 1997. O f the approxim ately 1300 chil dren for whom returning home is not an option, 702 were placed into adop tive homes in the year ending June 30, 1997, up from 558 the previous year. “T h is is ca u se for c e le b ra tio n ,” says Kay T o ra n , d ire c to r o f the S tate O ffic e for S erv ice s to C h il dren and F am ilies (SC F), the sta te 's ch ild w elfare agency. "W e are on ou r w ay to rea lizin g a m a jo r goal - - finding safe, su p p o rtiv e and p e r m anent fam ilies for an in c reasin g n um ber o f O reg o n ch ild ren w ho d esp erate ly need th e m .” Toran sees the trend continuing. In Septem ber and O ctober, SCF has signed 110 consents to finalize adop tion, a 30 percent jum p over the aver age for recent years. T he 1997 le g isla tu re gave SC F ad d itio n a l sta ff to ad d re ss the in cre asin g n eed s o f ch ild ren in its ca re, from ch ild p ro te c tiv e se r vices, through foster care and ad o p tion. S C F has pro m ised the le g isla ture to find p erm a n en t hom es for 9 0 0 ch ild ren a year in 1998 and 1999. Toran credits new adoption w ork ers with the increase in placements. "W e brought some new stall on in January and already are seeing the fruits oftheir labors.” The w orkers are completing homes studies to identity the best resources and ensure safe adoptions, thus moving children more quickly through the system. ( )ther 1997 adoption trends include: * 2(X) of the 702 children placed were minority youngsters, com pared with 161 out of558 total placem ents in 1996. a percentage which is holding steady. Oregon must find more fam i lies to meet the needs of minority children SCF is hiring five new re gional recruitment/retention stall and will increase recruiting efforts in m i nority communities. * SCF placed 197 children under age 3. This represents over 28% of total adoptions, a figure that has held steady for the past lour years. * Most children (64% ) were adopted by relatives or foster parents SCF has a major com m itm ent to increase rela tive and kinship care. * 96% o f O regon's adoptive place ments continued to finalization w ith out disruption, a record that continues to make Oregon number I inthecoun- I ments have grown in proportion to the total number of youngsters place. However, the number of children needing sale permanent homes con tinues to outpace the availability ol families. Each month, the number of children freed for adoption is greater than the number of children placed. "In the short term, more children w ill be freed for adoption as SB689 takescffect," notes Toran. "They need care and com m itm ent ol us. O ur great est challenge is to develop our com munity resources to respond to their needs and assure them sate, loving homes." try. O regon's adoptive com mittee pro cess is a model; a number ol people make the decision about a child's best placement rather than a single adop tion worker as in most slates. * At least 15% o f children leaving SCF foster care are placed for adop tion. * The majority of children in SCF care have special needs. They often do n 't meet the expectations of many potential adoptive families. Oregon has held steady over the past four years as the numbers of adopted children underage 3. children adopted by relatives, minority place SCF will: * locus the 38 new adoption posi tions, on board as of November I, on completing home studies and conceit (rating on placing the children who already are freed. The home study process is one place where the current system slows down. * increase supports to adoptive fami lies in the years after placement * strengthen relationships with the private adoption agencies to broaden the resources for these children. * continue to use lamily decision making process to mediate between birth and adoptive families. invite you to m eet our team o f profes sionals during our Open House No vem ber 21, 1997 3pm - 7pm.
