Foster Placement

A comparison was made of the physical and mental development of children with mongolism who were put into foster placement very soon after birth (Group P) with similar children who were reared in their own homes until 2½years of age or older (Group H). All of these children at the time of study had been patients at a state hospital for several years. The two groups (consisting of 32 children each) were matched as to present age but were otherwise chosen in a random way from the hospital population. The children of Group H showed significantly better nutrition and growth and walked at a much earlier age. The average Intelligence Quotient of Group P at an average age of 7 years was 16 while that of Group H at the same age was 23. The Social Quotients at the same time were 24 for Group P and 32 for Group H. A statistical analysis of these differences show them to be highly significant. It might be said that the children in Group P function generally within the severely retarded range whereas those in Group H are within the moderately retarded or trainable range.

Foster Placement

A recent article in Pediatrics by Birch and Belmont has challenged the methodology, results and conclusions of an earlier article, by Centerwall and Centerwall, on home versus foster-home rearing of mongoloid infants. The Centerwalls studied 64 mongoloid children one-half of whom had been placed in foster homes in the neonatal period, the other half having been reared in their own homes until at least 2½ years of age. All children were eventually institutionalized. At the time of admission to the institution, and approximately 4 years later, the home-reared group were found to be superior to the foster-placement group in intelligence, motor function, and social responsiveness. The investigators concluded that "the average baby with mongolism has a better chance of being a happy, easily cared for, somewhat productive person, if a reasonable adjustment can be made to having him remain in his own home during the first years of life (p. 685).
