Boarding Home Applicants: A Study of Fifty-Seven Successful and Unsuccessful Foster Homes at Little Flower House of Providence, Wading River, New York in Which the Expressed Motivation for Boarding a Child Was Companionship for an Own, Child 1953–1959
Abstract
Foster care is child centered and rooted in the basic concept of the child’s right to spiritual, physical and emotional well-being. The child is no longer considered a miniature replica of the adult, but a person in his own right, who needs to be developed and nourished in order to fulfill his own role in society. It cannot be denied that the child needs the warm affectionate relationship of his own family to gain a balance of security so important to his social and emotional adjustment.
