Concern for children and families of color as recipients of child welfare services peaked following the passage of the Adoption and Safe Family Act, 1997. In particular are concerns about African American children, and their disproportionate representation in the child welfare system, given their numbers in the population.
This collection of papers, which represent the proceedings of the first in a three part series of the Gamble-Skogmo Lecture and Issues Forum, captures the essence of the concerns and questions expressed by professionals and the African American communities.
