Foster Families: The Relationship Between Initial Motivation and Length of Service to the Agency. A Study of 149 Foster Homes Operated by Angel Guardian Home in 1963
Abstract
The length of time that a child is expected to remain in need of foster care is of considerable importance in the selection of a home for him. A child expected to remain in long-term placement needs to be placed in a home in which he is likely to be able to settle. On the other hand, children expected to remain only a few months should be kept as close to their former backgrounds as possible and need a foster home placement which will allow for this.
