Nationally, the fastest-growing population in child welfare is infants. This study explores child welfare placement trends for infants initially placed in a nonpermanent living arrangement in Michigan between 1981 and 1987 and examines permanency planning efforts within 4 years of initial placement. Despite policies and service delivery strategies aimed at permanency, the evidence suggests that there is great variation in the extent to which it is achieved. The type of first placement, number of placements, and the impact of gender, race, and geographic region on permanency outcomes are discussed. Policy implications based on these results are presented
