Natural Parents; Their Relation to Their Children’s Foster Home Adjustment With Special Attention to the Caseworker’s Role in Six Cases in the White Plains, New York District of the Catholic Home Bureau From 1946 – 1959

Mary Hamblen, Fordham University

Abstract

A person working in the field of child welfare, in particular in the foster home area, is constantly aware of the relationship existing between a child and his natural parents. So often with the foster home child, this relationship has, to a large extent, been of a negative and damaging nature. This often occurs when parents are left out of the planning and in such cases, "they will either throw up all responsibility and disappear from the child's life or else interfere in an haphazard and unpredictable way."
