The article “Kinship and Nonrelative Foster Care: The Effect of Placement Type on a Child Well-Being” was writing by Sarah Font from the University of Wisconsin. This article can be found in the professional journal, Child Development, September/October 2014, volume 84, number 5, and pages 2074-2090. This article attempts to address differences in children who are removed from their parents and placed in kinship and nonrelative care by measuring achievements, behaviors and health. The article takes the position that child welfare agencies are interested in a child’s well- being but the decision of where and with whom the children are placed with is significant.
