how Mississippi is increasing their pace of adoptions from foster care

Andrea Sanders has been the Commissioner of the Mississippi Department of Child Protection Services since November 2020. She says, "Every day I throw on my CAPE ([which is an acronym for her] core values of Compassion, Accountability, Professionalism, and Excellence) and I challenge my staff to do the same. Our work is too important to not give it our all each and every day. It is truly a new day at MDCPS, and I implore my fellow professionals and all Mississippians to lock arms with us to protect our children by investing in Mississippi families.
