Dr. Mary Ann S. Rogers notes reforms in the DSS have streamlined foster care adoptions. Volunteers on foster care review boards meet with children, parents, and DSS to craft recommendations for Family Court and improve placement. In 2005 the board handled 122 cases. Aiken County saw 36 children enter and 35 leave foster care, with 7 African American, 63 Caucasian, and two from other races.
