Foster Parents Group Education: A Follow-up Study of a Survey Completed in 1938 of Foster Parents Group Education Programs of Twenty- Nine Agencies in Seventeen States in the United States, 1969
Abstract
Background of the Study. Foster care, under agency auspices, was formerly provided almost exclusively for orphans and neglected or dependent children. Many children were placed in foster care for economic reasons alone, or because courts had given the guardianship of them to a social agency. Children whose parents were reported to have neglected or abused them were often removed hurriedly with little attempt to help the parents change their a-social behavior and assume proper parental responsibility. Many children placed in foster care in former years never did return home, but grew up in foster family homes or institutions.
