  • Title: Interjurisdictional placement of children in foster care.
    Author: Freundlich M, Heffernan M, Jacobs J.
    Journal: Child Welfare; 2004; 83(1):5-26. PubMed ID: 15002910.
    Abstract:
    As the population of children in foster care has increased and more children are freed for adoption, foster and adoptive families are needed in ever increasing numbers. One avenue for expanding the pool of families is through placement of children with families in other counties and states. This article considers the policy and practice implications of interjurisdictional placement in the context of foster care, adoption, and kinship care and suggests directions for interjurisdictional adoption practice and policy.
