A recognized goal of family reunification programs is preventing the reentry of children into foster care. Using data from the National Survey of Child and Adolescent Well-Being, this study examined reentry for 273 children between the ages of 5 and 12 years. In multivariate models, reentry into foster care within an average of 36-months of first entering care was associated with higher Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) scores, maternal depression, recent caregiver alcohol abuse, and shorter time to reunification. Although these are not the only risk factors that should be considered in deciding whether to reunify a child, these characteristics appear to be high valence problems for families and their children who are reunified.
