Dear Child Welfare Team,
I am a social work doctoral student at the University of Toronto who
is reviewing the literature on ?children who foster?, also known as
?foster parents? own children?, ?biological children?, "natural
children", ?foster carers? children? and ?unknown soldiers of foster
care?. I make this distinction, as this population often gets mistaken
for ?foster children?.
At the present time, I am interested in knowing everything and
anything about this population. I have been reviewing this topic since
2006. Literature has named Ellis (1972) as the first researcher in
this area, and I have been trying to follow the development of this
research since this period. I have connected with a few researchers in
this area all over the world. However, what I have noticed is that
most of the literature is within the ?grey literature? or held at the
agencies.
Please get in touch with me, if?
(a) you have any information (e.g., articles, brochures, flyers,
videos) on children who foster
(b)you have any historical developments on foster care linked to
children who foster
(c) your agency is providing (or has provided) any form of support to
these children/ youth/ adults (e.g., support groups, trainings,
networks)
I will be presenting at a conference in July 2011 on this topic and I
hope to have the most current literature, supports and resources
available to present.
Thanks kindly for your support!
Kind Regards,
Sarah
