Book excerpt: This qualitative study examined the lived experiences of foster parents to understand how they make meaning of their child's behavior and their training needs. A survey posted to online foster parent support communities gathered information about foster parents' level of parental reflective functioning, perceptions of training experiences, and reflections on their parenting experience. Responses from 13 participants were collected and analyzed. Quantitative data gathered was used to characterize the sample of participants. Using thematic analysis, nine themes were rendered. Participants identified positive and negative aspects of their parenting experience, reported strong feelings of love, highlighted the impact of trauma on their child, described struggling with interpreting and responding to their child's difficult behavior, and struggled with navigating emotional responses. Participants reported being dissatisfied with their previous training experiences, found trauma focused training the most helpful, and disclosed a desire for more training on practical techniques. Implications for clinical treatment and foster parenting training are discussed.

Book excerpt: Foster care, which can include both long- and short-term placements, is the most common way in which local authorities look after other people's children.

Through questionnaire responses from over a thousand foster carers across seven different local authorities, the authors highlight the importance of identifying and fulfilling appropriate kinds of care; the need to recruit and retain carers; and, finally, examin.

Book excerpt: Abstract: With the large number of children in foster care, it is important to understand the need of retaining and recruiting new foster parents. This study examined the views and experiences of foster parents who care for children in foster care with behavior problems, explored foster parents' relations with biological parents and child welfare services, and explored foster parents' view of mental health professionals who work with children with behavior problems. Using a qualitative research methodology, the researcher conducted face-to-face interviews with 14 foster parents from one foster family agency in the Los Angeles County. Findings revealed that many times it is difficult for foster parents to know how to care for children with challenging behavior problems. This study also revealed that the majority of foster parents have positive relations with child welfare workers and challenging relationships with children's biological parents. Lastly, this study revealed that foster parents have a difficult time understanding the therapeutic process of mental health professionals who provide services to the children. These results can help social workers and policy makers in providing support and implement better training to foster parents in order to reduce multiple placements of children in foster care.

This book was released on 2020 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The experiences of a child in the foster care system rely heavily on the preparedness ofthe foster parent. For decades, researchers and practitioners have written about the challenges that foster children face while in the foster care system and discussed ways to assist them. This research discusses another way to improve the preparedness of a foster child as they go through the foster care systemimproving the parenting skills of the foster parent using emotional intelligence. The entirety of this study is the analysis and study of this specific research question, What perceived impact can emotional intelligence training (IV) have on how licensed foster parents treat children in their homes (DV)? The researchers hypothesis was If states offered emotional intelligence training for foster parents, then their parenting skills would improve. After using surveys to question foster parents in North and South Carolina, the research concluded that foster parents strongly believed they would greatly benefit from incorporating a comprehensive emotional intelligence training program into the training regimen. The researcher concludes the study by developing a shell emotional intelligence training program aimed to maximize the potential of each foster parent as they care for children in their home.

Book excerpt: Each year, growing numbers of black foster youth, ages 18 and older, are emancipated from the child welfare system. Prior to termination, they are provided with a montage of independent living services aimed at teaching self-sufficiency skills. Nevertheless, many of these youth find themselves alone without the necessary aptitude, resources, and support needed to assume the intimidating responsibilities of adulthood. Although the literature regarding emancipated youth and their outcomes is extensive, there has been minimal research conducted on the unique experiences of Black youth as well as the factors that contribute to their success or failure in their transition to independence. Further, the information regarding their outcomes has been garnered from foster parents, case managers, attorneys, and family members, while failing to incorporate the voices of the youth who are best able to articulate the obstacles they encounter. This qualitative study examines the lives and experiences of eight black former foster youth. Audiotaped semi-structured interviews were conducted for the study. Data analysis took place throughout the data collection process. Their distinctive experiences, from their early childhood experiences that lead to placement in foster care, as well as their emancipation from care and subsequent road to independence are chronicled through their voices. Findings uncovered four themes: 1) child maltreatment, 2) unresolved trauma, 3) need for a sense of belonging, and 4) lack of preparation for adulthood. These themes represent the stumbling blocks of the participants’ past that continue to influence their life paths. This study enhances our understanding of the experiences of black aged out foster youth and the many challenges they face on their road to adulthood. Their individual stories raise poignant questions about the impact and efficacy of the foster care system on the lives of our most vulnerable youth.

Book excerpt: This qualitative transcendental phenomenology study explored the lived experiences of foster parents who care for traumatized children. Children in the foster care system are often exposed to trauma before and after entering the foster care system. Therefore, the trauma that foster children experience can impact them emotionally, psychologically, and cognitively. Unfortunately, foster parents are often unequipped to deal with these issues when these children enter their homes. The gap this study aimed to address was that foster parents did not have opportunities to share their experiences on what it was like to provide care for traumatized foster children. Husserl’s phenomenology theory guided this exploration and provided an in-depth, comprehensive description of foster parents’ experience in the foster care system. The study’s design and framework were used to address the research question, how does a foster parent describe their experience of providing care for children who have experienced trauma? In the rural region of Atlanta, Georgia, seven foster parents participated in semi-structured face-to-face interviews. The data were analyzed and coded. Four themes emerged: challenges in being a foster parent, the impact of fostering traumatized children, factors contributing to foster parents’ resilience, and recommendations for supporting foster parents. The themes provided insight into what it was like to provide care for foster children in the foster care system and shed light on foster parents’ challenges and needs in caring for traumatized children. The themes revealed that caring for traumatized children can be stressful. The foster parents did not receive sufficient communication about the children’s trauma background or training in managing the children’s trauma. Training and workshops were recommended because the foster parent can experience burnout without developing resiliency and support.
