Around 3,000 Ohio youth are in foster care and eligible for adoption
The 54,200 adoptions nationwide in 2021 represent a more than 6% decrease compared with 2020, and a more than 18% decrease from 2019's historic high of 66,200 adoptions, according to federal data.
Ohio Department of Job and Family Services director Matt Damschroder said the program's recruiters have smaller caseloads, and are tasked with regularly visiting and connecting with a child, in addition to reaching out to extended family members, teachers and other adults in a kid's life that might be the right match for adoption.
The program, known as Wendy's Wonderful Kids, is a partnership between the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services and the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption. Damschroder said there are around 3,000 Ohio youths currently in foster care who are eligible for adoption.
