American Journal of Public Health, 1975, vol. 65, issue 6, 604-612

Abstract: The developmental progress of children of drug abusing mothers was assessed in a study of foster children. Cognitive abilities and personal adjustment appeared to be normal but significantly poorer school adjustment patterns were observed. Such children are disproportionately locked into foster care.
