According to official records, two out of every three children are placed in foster care because of parental substance abuse. The number is only increasing. It shows that the “war on drugs” is definitely not won or over. Children are paying a high cost for addiction because a lot of these children do not find placement in good and stable homes and have a lower rate of being returned to their parents.
Heroin appears to be the driving force for the increase of children placed in the Georgia foster care system. Rehabilitation from this drug is extremely difficult. The need for secure and reliable families to foster or adopt these children is capacious. Find out more about this growing epidemic: More Georgia Children in Foster Care Because of Heroin
