Long Term Foster Care: A Study of Factors Leading to the Long Term Foster Care of 15 Children Who Reached Age 18 in 1963
Abstract
Background of the study:The New York Foundling Hospital is a child caring institution which needs little introduction in any study in the field of Child Welfare. Since its establishment in 1869 to care for the destitute and abandoned children of New York City, it has been an integral part of that field of social service dedicated to the welfare of children. The history and development of this agency need not be mentioned here, for they are one with the history and development of the Child Welfare field in New York City and in the United States.Consequently, I feel that it is appropriate that this study, which has as its focus an examination of a service offered in Child Welfare, was conducted at an agency which has made every effort to keep up with the development of this field, according to its own special focus. In short, than just what happened in the case of 15 children in foster care with the New York Foundling Hospital. They tell us what is happening in foster care throughout the country, just as the minute movements of a seismographic bar can record the rumblings of the earth all over the world.
