For children with migration backgrounds, this can include adapting to new languages, traditions, religious and cultural practices. In this study, we shed light on how children with migration backgrounds in foster care experience and navigate contact with their birth family and how their birth family relationships support and hinder their sense of home. Seven children and young people in foster care in Norway shared their experiences through interviews and photo elicitation. Reflexive thematic analysis and a theoretical framework of home were used to unpack how participants talked about relationships with birth family across the foster care trajectory. We present two main themes: (1) contact as complex social processes through the life course, illustrating how the participants navigated local and transnational family relationships governed by the CWS; (2) doing family: everyday life practices, showing how the participants created coherence and a sense of home by incorporating family into everyday life and utilizing their heritage language. We argue that recognizing children's various relationships and family practices is essential for supporting their home-making process in foster care.","PeriodicalId":10025,"journal":{"name":"Child & Family Social Work","volume":"31 2","pages":"692-702"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2026-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/cfs.13312","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147715266","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Through semi-structured interviews with foster carers (n = 24), this study examined how foster carers navigate the Swedish foster care market and what they value in a foster care agency. Using thematic analysis, four themes were identified: (1) entering the foster care market with limited information, (2) navigating towards the type of assignments, (3) navigating towards financial and other resources and (4) navigating towards trust in and relationships with agency workers. The study shows that a majority of foster carers did not deliberately choose a fostering agency when entering the market, whereas experienced foster carers navigated the market in search of fostering agencies matching their requirements. Typical IFA pull factors were complex assignments, high remuneration and comprehensive support. Typical LA pull factors were less complex assignments and a good relationship with an agency worker. This study indicates that through experience, foster carers may learn how to benefit from the marketization in terms of resources and support, but questions are raised in regard to whether the development benefits child welfare authorities and children.","PeriodicalId":10025,"journal":{"name":"Child & Family Social Work","volume":"31 2","pages":"748-758"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2026-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/cfs.13320","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147715170","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on the voices of young people who grew up in DA, the qualitative study that is the basis for this article asked young people about aspects of their childhood and what helped them to cope despite DA in their family of origin. The study found that methods of control used by the abuser led to children being isolated. At other times, children living with DA reported isolating themselves due to the effects of living with DA. Utilizing Vygotsky's sociocultural theory, children's isolation caused by DA is examined. The effects on children's social, emotional and educational well-being are explored, and potential social work roles in helping children overcome such isolation are presented.

While research on families with children with disabilities is extensive, studies focusing on families with parents with disabilities remain limited. A common situation in the deaf community is a family with deaf parents and hearing children. Children of deaf adults (CODAs) experience unique family dynamics, often acting as language brokers for their deaf parents. This study explores how CODAs navigate dual roles as children and caregivers, particularly in their relationships with parents, siblings and the broader community. Using in-depth interviews with 11 adult CODAs, this qualitative study employed reflexive thematic analysis and provided valuable insights into the distinctive dynamics of this family context. Peer debriefing among CODA and non-CODA researchers ensured analytic trustworthiness. Findings reveal that CODAs' relationships with their parents exist on axes of responsibility and obligation. Three central themes emerged: CODAs' role as interpreters, their place within the family and their ‘responsibiligated’ status—a term coined to describe CODAs' relationships with their parents. This concept advances theoretical innovation that opens new avenues for exploring children's nuanced roles in families with distinct cultural or linguistic backgrounds, potentially informing broader discussions on family dynamics and child development.","PeriodicalId":10025,"journal":{"name":"Child & Family Social Work","volume":"31 2","pages":"798-809"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2026-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/cfs.70001","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147715204","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This phenomenological case study explores the lived experiences of M and J, a Spanish couple who migrated to the United Kingdom while raising their son, H, diagnosed with ASD at the age of three. Through in-depth, semi-structured interviews and thematic analysis, the study identifies core challenges, including elevated emotional stress, social isolation, language barriers and difficulties navigating unfamiliar healthcare and educational systems. The findings also reveal the emotional labour involved in sustaining parental identity, negotiating care pathways and maintaining relational dynamics as a couple. Despite these adversities, the family's experience illustrates how resilience can be fostered through supportive networks, adaptive coping strategies and gradual integration into local systems of care. The study's contribution lies in highlighting how emotional dynamics alongside structural constraints shape meaning-making processes in caregiving. These insights have transferable relevance for other expatriate and migrant families, including those in international development, humanitarian or academic contexts.

Using macro-level data from 293 Finnish municipalities, this study applies hierarchical linear regression and mediation analysis to examine how poverty shapes community perceptions of child protection demand. The hierarchical linear regression findings reveal that poverty is independently associated with higher child protection demand, confirming the role of poverty as a significant risk factor for child maltreatment and services demand. This association becomes negative when poverty is considered alongside other risk factors, such as low education, single-parent households, mental health issues and crime. This shift aligns with the inverse intervention law and the wallpaper effect of poverty, suggesting that higher poverty levels may raise the threshold for child welfare notifications. Mediation analysis further demonstrates that the accumulation of poverty and other vulnerabilities indirectly increases child protection demand. Although these findings emphasize correlation rather than causality, they advance a more nuanced understanding of poverty's role in shaping child protection demand, highlighting the interaction of poverty with other social vulnerabilities. The study calls for integrated, multi-level responses in research and policy.","PeriodicalId":10025,"journal":{"name":"Child & Family Social Work","volume":"31 2","pages":"869-880"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2026-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/cfs.70010","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147715147","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In Catalonia (Spain), emergency foster care placements are designed for children aged 0–6 and can last up to a maximum of 6 months. This study explores decision-making factors influencing (i) the length of time a child is in emergency foster care; (ii) the child's transition to a new home; and (iii) the support needs of those involved in these placements. A qualitative method was employed, gathering perspectives from key stakeholders (social workers, foster and adoptive families and a care-experienced youth) through five focus groups and two interviews (N = 24), followed by content analysis. The findings indicate that emergency foster care frequently exceeds the legally established 6-month limit. Recommendations include improving case assessments to ensure that placement in emergency foster care is really the best option for the child and, above all, to shorten its duration. It is also worth reflecting on the relationship established between the child and the emergency foster carers after the emergency placement ends, to prevent children from feeling that they are being abandoned again.","PeriodicalId":10025,"journal":{"name":"Child & Family Social Work","volume":"31 2","pages":"770-781"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2026-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/cfs.70000","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147715194","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A multinational convenience sample of 1054 adults who had experienced separation from their biological parents for at least 6 months during childhood and were adopted or placed in alternative care completed an online survey regarding their separation and care experiences. Orphanhood status varied significantly by region and HDI categories but suggested that 80.7% of participants had at least one living biological parent while residing in alternative care. Global data revealed that family stress, parental death, abandonment, and poverty were perceived as the primary reasons for adoption or placement in alternative care. However, findings suggested that antecedents to placement were interwoven and complex and varied significantly by region and HDI categories. Results highlight the complex nature of separation and placement experiences and the need for local data when developing services for children and families.
