Description

Clarita A. Mrena. Our nation’s foster care population has nearly doubled since the mid-1980s, leading to increases in foster care expenditures. Because of concern that children whose parents abuse drugs or alcohol may remain in foster care for long periods of time before they are placed in a safe, permanent home, this report provides information on: (1) the extent & characteristics of parental substance abuse among foster care cases; (2) the difficulties foster agencies face in making timely permanency decisions for foster children with substance abusing parents; & (3) initiatives that address reunifying families or achieving other permanency outcomes.
