Yet there has been very little information about how well children do when placed with kin or how safe they are in these placements.

The authors explore whether children placed with family and friends fare better or worse than othQuality matters in children's services.Kinship careFoster home careFoster childrenServices forFoster childrenFamily relationshipsChildrenLegal status, laws, etcElectronic books.Kinship care.Foster home care.Foster childrenServices for.Foster childrenFamily relationships.ChildrenLegal status, laws, etc.362.73/3Farmer Elaine1949-1027741Moyers Sue1948-1027742MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910453248903321Kinship care2443372UNINA01843nam 2200541 a 450 991046355980332120200520144314.00-8195-7368-X(CKB)3170000000060515(EBL)1315405(SSID)ssj0000950552(PQKBManifestationID)11577449(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000950552(PQKBWorkID)11011315(PQKB)11560940(MiAaPQ)EBC1315405(OCoLC)852896203(MdBmJHUP)muse23606(Au-PeEL)EBL1315405(CaPaEBR)ebr10734329(EXLCZ)99317000000006051520130206d2013 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrParabolas of science fiction[electronic resource] /edited by Brian Attebery and Veronica HollingerMiddletown, Conn.
