request for information

[Michael Ellis <maellis@xxxxxx>]

Are there outcome studies for children in the child welfare system/child
protection system based on their placement - with foster care,
kinship care, or returning to biological parents?  Particularly, are there
recent outcome studies that examine outcomes for children who were born of
drug-addicted mothers / or who were removed due to maternal drug
addiction or drug dependence - again, examining outcomes by placement type -
foster care- kinship care - biological parents regaining custody?
I have done the usual searches and have talked with people from
several states.  This is a rather specific request, and I am hoping someone
or a few someones may have some leads for me.

Thank you very much for your help.
All the very best,
Mike Ellis
