N2  - This paper reviews the major efforts being made to    reform the child welfare system for children with special needs who are in    protective placements. Barriers to finding permanent and loving homes result in    putting these children at high risk of institutionalization, poor physical and    emotional health, and abuse and neglect. Education for prospective parents,    foster parents and the child service provider workforce is necessary to minimize    these poor outcomes.
