Alaska's OCS management is stagnant and has been for years.  OCS tends to have a high turnover in middle management.  OCS needs to recruit upper management team members that have expertise on how to provide family reunification programs that work.  Back in 2008, Congress passed the Fostering Connection to Adoptions Act.  States, including Alaska receive a minimum of $1.3 million annual for every 300 adoptions that they arrange.  Informed people know that Alaska Native children make up 62% of Alaska's foster care system.  It's likely higher now.  The vast majority of children adopted between new born and 4-years-old are adopted within or less than a year after they're removed from their home.  Parents with addiction problems are at the highest risk of losing their children because FCAA allows states to put children up for adoption after they've been in the system for 2 years.  Tribal members adopt less than 1% of their own children.  It's staggering.
