A post-reunification service model
Results From a Randomized Controlled Trial of Team Decision-Making
KVC's Bridging the Way Home
This article presents implementation study findings from a large-scale evaluation of an intervention model for children in foster care, aimed to improve care within the services system. This Bridging the Way Home Initiative, funded by the Anne E. Casey Foundation, and conducted under the auspices of KVC Kansas (KVC) in Kansas created processes by which a defined trauma-informed intervention model (Trauma Systems Therapy-TST) could inform the work…
Trauma-informed child welfare systems and children's well-being
This study evaluated the effectiveness of a system-wide reform effort to implement trauma-informed care (Trauma Systems Therapy [TST]) across a large, private child welfare system. The longitudinal associations among implementation of TST and four measures of children's well-being (functioning, emotional regulation, and behavioral regulation) and placement stability were examined. A description of the implementation of TST can be found in a separ…
Experimental Evaluation of a Child-Focused Adoption Recruitment Program for Children and Youth in Foster Care
This article describes the randomized controlled trial evaluation of the Wendy's Wonderful Kids (WWK) adoption recruitment program. Based on data describing 956 children served by 21 agencies in 18 states, children served by WWK are found to be 1.7 times more likely to be adopted than children in the control group. Impacts were larger among older children, and children with psychological disorders, than other children. Implications for child welf…
Exploring Motivations to Adopt
This study used National Survey of Adoptive Parents (NSAP) data to explore adoptive parent motivations. Examination of adoption motivation is important as it relates to recruitment of adoptive families for children needing homes. Findings show that families using the three main types of adoption—foster care, private domestic, and international—have somewhat similar motivations for adopting. Infertile couples are found within each adoption type an…
Nonresident father support and reunification outcomes for children in foster care
A Study to Inform the Recruitment and Retention of General Applicant Adoptive Parents
This study used data from multiple sources to document interest in foster care adoption among general applicants nationally, the characteristics of general applicant adoptive parents and the children they adopt, the experiences general applicants have had with the adoption process, and factors that influence the success of general applicants in having a child placed with them. Data from a national survey of adoption managers suggest that there ar…
