ISBN: 9781502841674 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 24 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Congress has long been concerned with the well-being of older youth in foster care and those who have recently emancipated from care without going to a permanent home.

The Chafee Foster Care Independence Act (P.L. 106-169), enacted in 1999, specified that state child welfare agencies...
