• Around 68% of children in foster care experience two or more placements, which can disrupt emotional security and attachment.
   
• The average time in foster care is 19 to 20 months, often leaving children in uncertainty for nearly two years.
   
• Almost 1 in 4 children age out of foster care without a permanent family.
   
• 31% of teens who reunite with their families re-enter foster care, showing the need for continued support after reunification.
   
• About one-third of children who return home eventually re-enter care, often because families lacked resources, guidance, or ongoing support.

Behind every number is a child who deserves stability, safety, and a loving home. These statistics highlight the importance of:

• Strong family support
   
• Trauma-informed services
   
• Ongoing guidance after reunification
   
• Collaboration between families and systems

At Ray of Hope Family Services, we work to strengthen families, reduce re-entry into foster care, and help children achieve permanent, stable homes.
