5 th Quarter DOCUMENTATION:<br />

Primary Foster Parent Ethnicity<br />

6 th Quarter Report: Next month (May) is when a major recruitment effort for both foster and adoptive homes will occur and will<br />

coincide with national, state and regional campaigns. A goal <strong>of</strong> 500 new families by the end <strong>of</strong> 2004 has been set. Already, some<br />

8,000 telephone calls have been made to follow-up with earlier inquirers. With the restructuring <strong>of</strong> DFCS and the organizational<br />

placement <strong>of</strong> the Office <strong>of</strong> Adoptions within DFCS (April 2004), recruitment efforts for resource families can be better focused. An<br />

automated report highlighting recruitment activities (successes and barriers) as well as data reflecting each step <strong>of</strong> the process from<br />

orientation to home approval will enhance efforts to recruit and maintain homes. Currently, private agency foster homes (which have<br />

not been included in the overall count) are being polled for their recruitment data. By the next reporting period, the targeted increases<br />

will be provided.<br />
