Abstract

This chapter is primarily concerned with the background of the Agency, which was the setting for this paper, some of the problems facing the Agency and their relationship to the timeliness and relevance of this case study. The research procedure and organization of the study will also be presented.Background. The Catholic Home Bureau for Dependent Children is a branch of the Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of New York. It places dependent and neglected children in foster homes and places children who are orphaned or legally freed from parental ties for adoption. Basically, however, it establishes and supervises foster homes for children who, for one reason or another, cannot be cared for by their parents.
