长期以来，父母探视一直是寄养儿童团聚决定的一个关键因素。本研究的目的，一个更大的后续调查的永久性规划寄养儿童的一部分，是相关的永久性规划的结果，并制定一个逻辑回归模型预测家庭团聚的父母访问。调查结果显示，大多数的母亲和父亲的访问，在法院建议的水平的儿童团聚，但没有发现父母之间的访问和累犯的团聚儿童在12个月的后续行动。在回归模型中包含的五个研究变量中，建议水平的母亲访问是团聚的最强预测因素，表明母亲按照建议访问的儿童团聚的可能性约为10倍。该文件还包括关于父母探访传统和亲属寄养家庭以及三个族裔群体的信息。研究结果对儿童福利实践和未来研究的影响进行了讨论。
Parental visiting has long been a crucial factor in reunification decisions for children in foster care. The purposes of the present study, part of a larger follow-up investigation of permanency planning for children in foster care, were to correlate parental visiting with permanency planning outcomes and to develop a logistic regression model predicting family reunification. Findings show that the majority of children with maternal and paternal visits at the level recommended by the court were reunified, but no association was found between parental visiting and recidivism of reunified children at a 12 month follow-up. Maternal visiting at the recommended level was the strongest predictor of reunification among the five study variables included in the regression model, indicating that a child visited by the mother as recommended was approximately 10 times more likely to be reunified. The paper also includes information on parental visiting in traditional and kinship foster homes and across three ethnic groups. Implications of study findings for child welfare practice and future research are discussed.
