Teenagers in foster care: The forgotten majority

The foster care reform movement of the past decade has succeeded in arousing public awareness about the plight of children in care and indeed moving many children out of state responsibility to permanent homes. However, the success has been selective. We can see now that children in foster care are not a homogenous group. A clear majority are adolescents whose goals, needs and experiences are radically different from that of younger children. This article uses empirical data to illustrate the problems teenagers suffer in care and the reasons traditional permanency options do not work. The authors suggest permanency alternatives and social work practice modifications which may better meet the needs of adolescents in the future.
