2020, Children and Youth Services ReviewCitation Excerpt :Children of older ages, without disabilities, of color (e.g., African American, Native Americans), and who were court-ordered into placement were more likely to be placed into kinship care than non-kin foster care (Beeman & Kim, 2000; Winokur et al., 2009). Holtan, Rønning, Handegård, and Sourander (2005) in a study of 214 children in state custody in Norway, found that children in kinship care had fewer emotional and behavioral problems when they entered care compared to their counterparts in non-kin foster care (Font, 2015; Holtan et al., 2005; Keller et al., 2001; Xu & Bright, 2018). In terms of precipitating circumstances, children initially placed into kinship care were more likely to have been removed from their homes of origin due to parental substance abuse and parental incarceration, while the trigger for most children’s placement into non-kin foster care was parental mental health problems (Cuddeback, 2004; Leloux-Opmeer, Kuiper, Swaab, & Scholte, 2016).
