- Every month in Wisconsin, between 350-400 children are removed from their birth parents due to neglect or abuse.
- The need is ongoing but, over the past two years, has been increasing by an additional 500 children over the average each year (a 27% increase over the previous average).
- After a foster child turns eight, he or she is more likely to stay in foster care than become adopted.
- Every two hours in Wisconsin, a child enters into foster care because of neglect, abuse, or drugs and alcohol in the home.
