This study examines the course of the sibling relationships among maltreated siblings in foster care in different placement conditions (intact or split).
In addition, in-depth, qualitative interviews will be conducted with a sub-sample of the children's biological mothers and fathers to examine their perceptions of the reasons that their children are living with kin, their satisfaction and dissatisfaction with kinship care, and their perceptions of their role in the child's life and in the life of the family providing a home for the child. Open-ended qualitative interviews also will be conducted with a sub-sample of the children and will examine their conceptions of family, their sense of belonging, the degree to which they feel a part of the family, and their sense of stability and permanence. The study also tests the hypotheses that the child's temperament, caregiver stress, functioning of the care-giving family, social support, and financial and material resources predict both changes in the child's behavioral functioning (a proxy for well-being) and the stability of the child's living arrangement over an 18-month period. The study plans to identify the strengths, resources, and service needs of kin who care for children who cannot be cared for by their biological parents, and describe changes over time. The Jane Addams College of Social Work at the University of Illinois at Chicago and the Grand Boulevard Federation will conduct a 3-year study of 300 families caring for related children in informal kinship care arrangements.
