Introduction
Young children are more likely than older children to be placed in foster care and
to spend a larger proportion of their life in the foster care system (Goerge &
Wulczyn, 1998). In a recent review of foster care in several states, the incidence
of placement in foster care for children under age 5 was double that of children
aged 5–17 (4 per 1,000 vs. 2 per 1,000) (Goerge & Wulczyn, 1998). Young
children are in foster care longer than older children and infants are in foster care
significantly longer than other age groups (Goerge & Wulczyn, 1998). In the 5
states studied, the median length of time infants spent in foster care ranged from
11 to 42 months (Goerge & Wulczyn, 1998). This paper explores the potential
impact of foster care placement on young children’s attachment relationships and
mental health.
