A forum for foster children

Child Welfare. 1988 May-Jun;67(3):231-43.

Abstract

As part of a joint conference, foster children from five to 20 years of age attended a group session to explore their thoughts and feelings about foster care. The professional leaders reported their observations to a subsequent meeting of foster parents and caseworkers. The comments and behaviors of the children at this meeting were both illuminating and moving. Foster children must be heard.
