本文的目的是研究长期相关的经历家庭寄养19岁之前的某个时候。研究对象选自1988年全国家庭和住户调查的参与者。比较了三组：101名成年人经历家庭寄养，101名成年人随机选择，101名成年人与那些经历家庭寄养的人在年龄，种族，性别，父母的教育程度和继父母的存在上相匹配。在自给自足，行为调整，家庭和社会支持，以及个人幸福的领域，36成人适应指标进行了检查。与随机选择的对照组相比，经历家庭寄养的成年人在36个指标中的20个指标上调整较少，特别是在教育，经济福利，婚姻关系和社区参与方面。寄养组的成年人在几乎所有的适应指标上都与匹配的对照组的成年人相似。
The purpose of this paper is to examine long-term correlates of experiencing family foster care sometime before the age of 19. Subjects for the study were selected from participants in the 1988 National Survey of Families and Households. Three groups were compared: 101 adults experiencing family foster care, 101 adults selected at random, and 101 adults matched to those experiencing family foster care on age, race, gender, parent's educational attainment, and the presence of a stepparent. Within the areas of self-sufficiency, behavioral adjustment, family and social support, and personal well-being, 36 indicators of adult adjustment were examined. When compared with the adults in the randomly selected comparison group, adults experiencing family foster care were less adjusted on 20 of 36 indicators, particularly in the areas of education, economic well-being, marital relations, and community involvement. Adults in the foster care group were similar to the adults in the matched comparison group on almost all indicators of adjustment.
