Yet there has been very little information about how well children do when placed with kin or how safe they are in these placements. This book compares formal kinship care to traditional foster placements in order to ascertain which children are placed with kin, in what circumstances, how well such children progress, and how often these placements disrupt. 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, etcKinship care.Foster home care.Foster childrenServices for.Foster childrenFamily relationships.ChildrenLegal status, laws, etc.362.73/3Farmer Elaine1949-1803739Moyers Sue1948-1803740MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910970199603321Kinship care4351409UNINA
