 Research on Family Preservation & Reunification Programs
Since reunification occurs during the normal course of child welfare services (most children in foster care are returned to their homes within a two year period),<39> we need to know whether intensive services actually improve the chances of family reunification and shorten the time to reunification.
Cases referred for intensive reunification services may be those which workers believe are good candidates for reunification; thus, in the absence of intensive services, the likelihood of reunification may be greater in program populations than in the larger population of families with children in foster care.
Presumably, all cases referred to reunification programs have a child in placement at the time of referral, so the objective of reunification may be considered to be relevant (if not appropriate) for all cases.
