| Free text | This publication brings information about the search of families for older children and youth in out-of-home care. It brings also statistics that older children stay in foster care longer and achieve permanency at lower rates than young children. It is mentioned the fact that youth that are considered "age out" of the foster care system often leave with few skills, minimal education and inadequate preparation for living as productive and independent adults. |
