The sample consisted of thirty foster parents (29 foster mothers and 1 foster father) who fostered children ages ranging from 5-12. The children have lived ; at least three months with the present foster parent in order to qualify for the study. To measure the behaviors of the children in long term foster care, the foster parents completed a demographic survey along with two surveys the Parent/Child Reunion Inventory (Marcus, 1988) and a behavioral symptom checklist developed by the researchers. Data analysis was conducted using a variety of univariate (descriptive statistics, frequencies), and bivariate analyses to describe the sample and to assess significant correlations among the various independent and dependent variables. As hypothesized, children in long-term foster care homes were exhibiting insecure attachment. This study can be informative to many foster parents, children services practitioners, and others that are interesting in foster care children and attachments issues.
