Shortage of Hispanic foster parents in Denver
The economic crisis, changes in the laws and cultural differences have resulted in a large number of Hispanic children coming under the care of municipal agencies in Denver due to a lack of suitable Latino foster families.
"Fifty-one percent of the almost 1,700 children in our care are Latinos. All of them need a family that offers them love, protection and hope. The reality is that we have the children, but we don't have the families," Fabiola Esposito, with the Child Welfare division of the Denver Department of Human Services, told Efe.
