Satisfaction of children in out-of-home care

L Wilson et al. Child Welfare. 1999 Jan-Feb.

Abstract

A randomly selected sample of 1,100 children in out-of-home care in Illinois from 1993 to 1996 were interviewed in person regarding their satisfaction with the homes in which they lived and with their caregivers. They were also asked whether they felt loved and safe, and rated the quality of their lives before and after placement into care. The children rated their satisfaction with their living arrangements and with their caregivers as high, especially those who had lived in family foster care.
