I can say anecdotally that being in a foster home was a much better experience than being in group homes. I am sure experiences vary, but I went from feeling like I was a prisioner in group homes to a family in a foster home.
- Retric 5y agoTo be clear, I truly believe the median foster homes is better than the median group home. Unfortunately the variance is the problem, with some foster homes and some group homes being truly abusive.
