About This Document: STRIDES IN GEORGIA A recent federal review of Georgia's child welfare system and the most recent findings of the court monitor charged with overseeing the state's progress gave high marks to the state's Division of Family and Child Services on child safety, finding permanent homes for children, reducing the number of children who re-enter foster care and education for children in care. Finding homes for children who have been in care for more than a year is difficult, so the state is developing a new unit that will work to find permanent placements for children.\n Mindful of these disparities, Texas legislators in 2007 authorized a study that found more African-American children were removed from their homes, fewer were returned to their biological families, and more children aged out of foster care without an adoptive family.
