Buehler, Cheryl and Orme, John G."Foster Family Characteristics and Behavioral and Emotional Problems of Foster Children: A Narrative Review." Family Relations, Vol. 50, No. 1 (Jan., 2001), pp. 3-15

B.)
The article discuss the emotion effects of being in the foster care. There are many factors that may place a child into the foster care that leads to the child emotions feeling a certain way after. Many factors of foster care bring different kinds of emotions for the child to begin once placed in foster care. These factors can bring upon emotional and behavioral problems of child being placed into foster care. The article explain the reason why a child after being place into foster care begin to have emotional, or behavioral problem that is due to parenting, parent's mental health, social support, or how a family operates in their house hold. There are many other factors that are explained in the article that can cause emotional or behavioral problems.

C.)

The article was well written and have a good layout. It is always good to have some form of background for readers to read, because some people may not be aware of the history or current events that occur in certain topics. The article was well informed on the background, but I felt the writer was a little bias in the article. The author seemed to have little or limited information on certain areas of the article, but seems to generalized it into a big population.

D.)

Literature review is important because it help understand the article and analyze the information that is obtain. The article purpose was to compare the different styles of raising a child from foster care and parents, because understanding the difference style help minimize the action that lead to a child have emotional or behavioral problems.

E.)

I feel that the article did generalized a little more than it the information obtain from research supported. Other then generalizing a little bit, I thought the article was well written and informative on the information it obtain on the research.
