“…TPR is unlikely to be filed when adoption is not the permanency goal of the child, and older children are less likely to be adopted than younger children. Boys are significantly more likely to be physically abused than girls (Hershkowitz, Lamb, & Horowitz, 2007;Sobsey, Randall, & Parrila, 1997), putting them at risk for child welfare involvement, our results indicate that boys are significantly less likely than girls to be removed from their home. Inconsistent with other studies, which suggest that African American children were overrepresented in the child welfare system (Anyon, 2011) and TPR cases (SagatunEdwards, Saylor, & Shifflett, 1995) and less likely to be reunified with their parents (Connell et al, 2006;Courtney et al, 1997;Davis, Landsverk, & Newton, 1997;Vogel, 1999;Zinn & Slowriver, 2008), we found that mothers of African American children were no more likely than white children to experience TPR, and Hispanic children were even less likely than African American and white children to be removed from their homes.…”

The purpose of this study is to investigate the correlates of termination of parental rights (TPR) for parents with substance use disorder (SUD) and to determine what happens with regard to permanency once a TPR decision is made. Bivariate techniques and hierarchical non-linear modeling are used. Parents of older youth, boys, and Hispanics were less likely, while parents who failed to make progress in substance use treatment and parenting skills are more likely to experience TPR. At follow up, 85% of the children were adopted, 7% remained in a substitute care settings, and 7% were reunified with their parents. Concerns remain for children without a permanent home setting.

“…Disabled children in out-of-home placements are half as likely than others to have either 'reunification with birth family' as part of their care plan (Hill, 2012) and they are less likely to return home (Grant & Thomas, 2013;Hayward & DePanfilis, 2007;Romney, Litrownik, Newton, & Lau, 2006). Akin (2011), in a US study, tracked 3351 children for 30-42 months after entering foster care and found that 58.7% of non-disabled children returned home compared to only 27.5% of disabled children.…”

Yet many children are subject to extended periods of uncertainty and instability. Growing attention has been paid to the need to achieve permanence As disabled children are over-represented in looked after (in care) populations it is especially important that their needs are considered when formulating policy and practice in this area.This review of literature covers international material related to stability and permanence for disabled children, in particular permanence achieved through fostering and adoption. A scoping method was used to identify and analyse a broad range of material. Ninety texts were included in the review, including material from the US, the UK, Canada, Australia, China and the Netherlands.Empirical research included quantitative, mixed methods and qualitative studies. Other sources included literature reviews and a small number of research-based 'think pieces' and briefings.Disabled children often have permanence outcomes and experiences which differ from those of other children; most often they are disadvantaged by systematic features of services and by the latent disablism of decision-makers, professionals, carers and potential carers. The findings alsoshow that disabled children are not a homogenous group and that characteristics such as age, gender, ethnicity and impairment type show complex relationships with permanence through adoption and foster care.Important gaps in current knowledge are identified, including disabled children's views and experiences in relation to achieving permanence. Several areas of poli...

“…These are unlikely to be vulnerable to bias, as they are based on datasets in which gender is an easy variable to complete, providing a representative sample. Four of these studies reported non-significant findings (for example, Hayward et al, 2007;Courtney et al, 1997) while two of the large studies reported an effect of gender. Yampolskaya et al (2007) found that boys had a delayed exit from care while Snowden et al (2008) report that girls are more likely to be adopted than boys, the effect sizes however were both very weak.…”

“…The remaining four did find effects. Snowden et al (2008) found children placed under 5 years old were more likely to be adopted, Yampolskaya et al (2007) found that younger children had a slower exit from care, and Yampolskaya (2011) et al found that older children were more likely to re-enter out of home care, while Hayward et al (2007) reported that those in middle childhood were less likely to reunify than infants, with a further decrease for older adolescents. Although there was mixed evidence on the effect of age, about half of the studies found that children who come into care earlier have more positive placement outcomes than those coming into care at an older age.…”

What do child characteristics contribute to outcomes from care: A PRISMA review

This article presents the findings from a systematic review of the literature regarding factors related to positive placement outcomes. Children in care are particularly vulnerable to problems with their emotional and behavioral development. It is important to know which factors affect whether children will have a positive placement outcome or not. Previous research has aimed to examine this, and has found that certain child characteristics can affect placement outcome. Reviews have not reported their search strategy in line with PRISMA guidelines, nor have they always reported the source of the data. This review was particularly interested in which studies had contact with the children or carers themselves, as opposed to a reliance on administrative data. There appear to be child characteristics that affect placement outcome, but findings need to be interpreted with caution due to a high volume of results from administrative data. Future research should aim to conduct full assessments with children when they come into care. KeywordsChild; foster care; placement outcome.
