Zusammenfassung:Each year, too many youth age out of foster care without connections to a permanent, loving family. In this study, we examine the impact of placement with family on youth well-being and legal permanency among a sample of youth who were in outof-home care.

A number of family-centered practices were identified as recommendations to improve child welfare outcomes.
