Data were obtained from the March 1998 to September 2007 six-month files submitted by the state of Illinois to the federal Adoption and Foster Care Analysis Reporting Systems; a subsample of 1,500 children in nonkinship care was matched with a kinship sample. Findings indicated that children in nonkinship foster care homes still exhibit a higher risk for initial placement disruption after matching. Findings suggested, however, that rates of instability within a year are no different compared with children in kinship foster care. Implications of the findings for policy and practice are considered. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
