This guide, published by the New York State Office of Children and Family Services, provides a summary of promising practices currently used in recruitment and retention of foster/adoptive families. It was developed to help local districts and voluntary agencies meet the challenge of providing qualified, well-prepared foster/adoptive families that can meet the needs of children and youth coming into care. The guide was written and compiled as part of the Innovations in Family Recruitment program, funded by a grant to the New York State Office of Children and Family Services from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Children’s Bureau.
