Foster Parenting: Resources for Child Welfare Administrators and Supervisors
The Child and Family Services Reviews have identified that many States are challenged by the need for sufficient numbers and types of placement options to ensure that a child's foster care placement is based on appropriateness rather than availability. Foster parent recruitment and retention is an important issue for child welfare administrators and supervisors, because it directly impacts permanency outcomes for children in foster care.
