Instability in adoptive families
NSCAW Adoption Study (n = 383) of young adult adoptees (23 years) and adoptive parents. • Post adoption instability: 8% formal, 24% informal, a cumulative 33% any instability. • Age at adoption and clinical behavioral issues were associated with instability. • Controlling for covariates, only behavioral issues were associated with instability. While adoption is often conceptualized as a permanent solution for children in foster care, it does not …
Motivations to Adopt
This study explored parental motivations to adopt and associations between motivations and family well-being. Multivariate OLS regression was used to examine responses from Young Adult Adoptee ( n = 206; average 24 years old) and Adoptive Parent ( n = 295) samples. When adoptees perceived that their parents were motivated by love for them, or helping a child in need, they reported higher levels of family functioning. Adoptive parents who endorsed…

Understanding the health and well-being of adults 10-15 years after adoption from the US foster care system
Young adult adoptees surveyed 10-15 years after exiting the child welfare system to adoption reported that they were in good or excellent physical health; did not have a substance use problem; were socially connected; had strong feelings of belonging with their adoptive family; and felt very hopeful about their future. However, adult adoptees reported much higher rates of a current mental health problem than adults in the general population. Unde…
Exploring Adherence to Client Treatment Recommendations in the Neurosequential Model of Therapeutics
Purpose: Treatment adherence is a central component of implementation fidelity and key to our understanding of client outcomes. This study examines treatment adherence in the Neurosequential Model of Therapeutics (NMT) and four functional outcomes among a sample of adopted youth: sensory integration, self-regulation, and relational and cognitive functioning. Methods: The sample includes 178 youth receiving supportive services from a U.S. adoption…
Living apart after adoption or guardianship
8% of youth in the sample had experienced living apart (LA) from their adoptive or guardianship families. • Factors that decreased the likelihood of LA included: extracurricular involvement in school-related activities, biological family support, and appropriate, adoption or guardianship specific supports and services. • Familial relationships endured within families that experienced LA. For children who are not reunified with their biological fa…

Tuning in to Teens (Tint) with adoptive parents and guardians in the US
Ensuring the wellbeing and stability of children with foster care experiences is critical. Between 5% and 20% of children experience post-permanency instability, a reentry into foster care after adoption or guardianship; adolescents are at increased risk for post-permanency instability. Few interventions that aim to reduce post-permanency instability have been rigorously tested. This study adapted and tested Tuning in to Teens (TINT), previously …
Understanding wellbeing and caregiver commitment after adoption or guardianship from foster care
This study explored data obtained from surveys of caregivers who had previously adopted or assumed guardianship of a child from foster care in two U.S. states (N= 937). Descriptive analyses summarized the demographic and wellbeing characteristics of children and families, and multivariate regression models estimated the association between these variables and caregiver commitment. Consistent with previous research, most caregivers (> 80%) reporte…
Identifying families who may be struggling after adoption or guardianship
Targeted prevention efforts after adoption or guardianship from foster care are intended to help families most at-risk and prior to the onset of significant issues. Most adoptive and guardianship families adjust well with supportive services in place; only a small proportion have difficulties that result in children returning to foster care after adoption or guardianship. This study examined the use of administrative data to identify families at-…
Evaluation of the Illinois adoption preservation and linkages (Apal) program using a regression discontinuity design
This study evaluated the Illinois Adoption Preservation and Linkages (APAL) program using a regression discontinuity design. APAL is a brief needs assessment and service referral program designed to prevent adjustment difficulties for former foster youth who reside in legally permanent adoptive and guardianship homes. Data for this study was derived from a stratified random sample of adoptive and guardianship caregivers in Illinois who completed …
A Comparison of Foster Care Reentry After Adoption in Two Large U.S. States
Purpose: This study examines foster care reentry after adoption, in Illinois and New Jersey. The provision of services and supports to adoptive families have garnered recent attention due to concern about the long-term stability of adoptive homes. Method: This study used administrative data to examine the pre-adoption characteristics associated with post-adoption foster care reentry. Children were tracked longitudinally, using administrative data…
Post-permanency discontinuity
Effects of kinship care on behavioral problems by child age
Insuring the Integrity and Validity of Social Work Interventions
The near loss of the ability to conduct randomized controlled trials in the Title IV-E waiver demonstrations makes the negotiation of a ceasefire urgent in the "causal wars." Results-oriented accountability is a conceptual framework for managing the micro-macro tensions that arise in social work practice and research. This article uses subsidized guardianship experiments to illustrate the results-oriented accountability process by which innovatio…
Post-permanency service needs, service utilization, and placement discontinuity for kinship versus non-kinship families
Application of the life course perspective in child welfare research
