Revealing the Profile of Foster Parents, Biological Parents, Foster Children and the Triadic Relationship amongst them (2024) by Vasiliki Baltsioti and Ignatia Farmakopoulou investigates foster care in Greece.

In particular, the researchers are interested in the “triadic relationship among foster carers, biological parents, and foster children”

application of the institution of fostering.”

The researchers also suggest that more research is needed to “understand the long-term effects of foster care on children…”
