Modes of exit from foster family care and adjustment at time of departure of children with unstable life histories.
In a study of the modes of exit and condition at exit of 585 children who left the care of The Casey Family Program, a program devoted to the care of children who were judged not able to be reunited with their families, the research reveals a number of significant relationships between certain conditions, circumstances, and characteristics of the children previous to admission and their condition upon departure from agency care.
