Brown, Jason D.; St. Arnault, David; Sintzel, Jennifer; George, Natalie
Journal of Family Social Work, v14 n5 p446-460 2011
Foster parents licensed in a central Canadian province were contacted by telephone and invited to participate in a survey that included the question "What are the challenges of fostering a child with the same values, beliefs, and traditions as you?" Participants sorted all responses to the question into concepts that were analyzed using multidimensional scaling and cluster analysis in accordance with the concept mapping method. The final concept map included five clusters that were labeled rebuild confidence, different expectations, resistance, restore connections, and acceptance. Results were compared to the literature. Similarities and differences are presented. (Contains 1 figure and 1 table.)
