This study has been carried out using qualitative interviews with several foster homes, social welfare secretaries and a researcher in the area. We have also chosen to separate the foster homes on the basis of two foster homes only accepting teenagers while other accepting younger children.
The theoretical concepts we have chosen to use are connected to attachment theory and the ecology of human development point of view. The result has showed that the factors that were given priority to were: The relations between the foster home, the biological parents, the social service and the child, the foster homes function in relation to approach and ability to satisfy the needs of the child, the child's age, the school situation, and finally the operation of the social welfare services.
