Currently the number of foster children and even adults in Madison County far exceeds the number of foster homes. The Madison County Department of Human Resources is hoping to fill that gap with an upcoming recruitment fair. Right now there about 6,000 children in foster care across the state of Alabama. In Madison County alone, at least 455 are in custody of the state with only 246 licensed foster homes. "So we don't have enough homes for all of our kids, but we want to try to keep our kids here in Madison County," Madison County Department of Human Resources Director Corey Williams said.
