An exploration of the motivations and barriers to being a foster parent in Florida
2021, Children and Youth Services ReviewCitation Excerpt :Respondents were then given a list of 14 items and were asked to rank how much each item motivated them to foster on a Likert scale from Not at all (1) to A great deal (5). These items included fulfilling the need for foster homes, helping children in need, helping special needs children, providing children with a stable childhood, keeping a child out of “the system”, increasing family size, religious or spiritual reasons, financial benefit, companionship for self, companionship for respondent’s child, loving children or infants, improving the image of fostering, and filling the home after a grown child leaves (Baum et al., 2001; Cole, 2005; Cox et al., 2002; Gillis-Arnold et al., 1998). Respondents were also given a list of six barriers and were asked to rank the barriers based on how much they prevent respondents from becoming a foster parent from Not at all to A great deal.

2015, Children and Youth Services ReviewCitation Excerpt :Recently voices are raised for permanency, in order to offer continuity to foster children with respect to the child needs of safety and stability. Foster care is a full-time substitute parental care (Gillis-Arnold, Crase, Stockdale & Shelley, 1998), where the primary role of foster parents is parenting (Orme & Buehler, 2001). Parenting contributes to children's social and emotional adjustment (Orme & Buehler, 2001) and has impact on the general and specific development of the foster child (Harden, D'Amour Meisch, Vick & Pandohie-Johnson, 2007).
