Children in foster care increase amid shortage of foster families

Children in foster care increase amid shortage of foster families

We combed through data compiled by the state, which shows there are about 2,000 foster children. Compare that to the most recent number of licensed foster homes -- just 959. In 2011, the state took 978 children from their homes and placed them in foster care. The number went up in 2012 to 1,043, and then last year, just over 1,500.
