Enhanced services and stipends for foster parents: effects on retention rates and outcomes for children
Child Welfare.
1992 Sep-Oct.
Abstract
Current national trends show that although the number of available foster homes is shrinking, the number of children and adolescents being cared for in the family foster care system is growing. This study demonstrates the significant benefits to both foster parents and the children in their care of providing enhanced services and stipends to foster parents.
