Using cross-sectional survey data from 4,002 adoptive parents in the United States, we compared parent-reported attachment for children with and without identified disabilities. Using multiple regression analyses, the study investigated the association between child disability and attachment while controlling for child demographics and adoption-related fac…

OneCommunity Reads
The importance of establishing effective literacy/reading skills at an early age, preschool to early elementary, is well known and accepted among educators. For students whose heritage language is not English, the influential factors of cultural relevance and parent/family involvement for the acquisition of these fundamental skills are underscored. OneCommunity (OC) Reads is a literacy program focused on enhancing Latino children’s reading profic…
State Implementation of the Fostering Connections to Success and Increasing Adoptions Act
Fostering Connections to Success and Increasing Adoptions Act of 2008 (FC Act) has been in place for over 10 years. However, children in kinship care continue to receive fewer benefits, supports, and access to resources due to challenges with fully integrating kinship care into the child welfare system. The current study explored the state implementation of the FC Act with a focus on kinship care. Representatives from 15 states across the U.S. co…
Use of the Ecomap and Cultural Ecogram in Strengthening Healthcare Services for Urban African American Grandparents With Diabetes Type 2
The purpose of this article is to present an application of two tools the ecomap (Hartman, 1995) and cultural ecogram (Yasui, 2015) used sequentially so that it may help in the process of assisting health professionals in determining ways to improve culturally informed, instead of culturally competent healthcare provision. Both tools have been developed in the context of clinical delivery of social services, have some known research that points t…
Exploring the public’s knowledge about kinship care
Public knowledge can be integral to building broad-based support for programs and policies related to kinship care. Despite this importance, few, if any, studies have examined this topic. This exploratory study utilized a convenience sample (N = 993) of Kentucky residents to assess their perceived and actual knowledge about kinship care, and investigated their knowledge discrepancies. Overall, results indicate that participants tended to overesti…

The Family Festival Prevention Model
Despite an overall reduction in teenage pregnancy rates in the USA, the decrease for young women of Mexican heritage in the USA has been less significant than the decrease for their White and African-American peers. Furthermore, the availability of teenage pregnancy prevention models that are conceptualised specifically for people of Mexican descent is minimal. Using qualitative focus group data that were triangulated against quantitative survey …

Why Do Children Experience Multiple Placement Changes in Foster Care? Content Analysis on Reasons for Instability
This study used content analysis and qualitative analysis to examine reasons for moves in 53 child welfare cases with placement instability. Coding from case records of reasons for placement moves revealed three categories in most cases: 1) caregiver-related reasons, such as maltreatment by caregivers or changes in caregivers' lives; 2) child behavior-related reasons such as aggressive behaviors; and 3) system- or policy-related reasons, such as …
