Subject: Re: outcomes for children in foster care vs. reunified of women released from prison
Hello,
I am in the early stages of my dissertation that will exam the long term outcomes associated with children removed from their homes due to parental methamphetamine use. I am looking for research to support my hypothesis that all things being equal children fair better left in the home when receiving in-home services. Any suggests are greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Trisha

I d be interested in seeing your results, Dylan. I would suggest that you include in your analysis some baseline information about the children at the time they came into custody. It may well be different for children in custody due to the incarceration of a parent but what I saw in my 20 years of representing children in child protection hearings was the overwhelming damage to kids by the time they were removed from the home due to years of maltreatment and despite multiple reports to DCF and years of services to the parents. Most of these kids had some of these: PTSD, Reactive Attachment Disorder, developmental delays, Oppositional Defiance Disorder, school problems-behavioral &/or academic, etc. Most states are now doing trauma assessments of children when they come into custody. That would be a good starting point.
You might also want to look at the federal data on re entry into foster care after reunification.
Good luck!

Hi everyone,
I’m interested in doing a causal analysis of the effect of remaining in foster care vs. reunification for children of women released from prison. I’m wondering if anyone is aware of a study (studies) that have been done on this question. Thanks.
Best regards,
Dylan
