“…Scholars have called for greater attention to the incorporation pathways of unaccompanied minors in the United States today (Cardoso et al 2019). Most work focuses on ''unaccompanied youth,'' or minors (under the age of 18) who migrate without a parent or guardian, are apprehended by Customs and Border Protection, and are designated ''unaccompanied alien children.''…”

“…Scholars have called for greater attention to the incorporation pathways of unaccompanied minors in the United States today (Cardoso et al 2019). Most work focuses on “unaccompanied youth,” or minors (under the age of 18) who migrate without a parent or guardian, are apprehended by Customs and Border Protection, and are designated “unaccompanied alien children.” These youth are typically placed with sponsors who are family members (Pierce 2015), and they are likely to live in parent- or guardian-headed households and enter traditional K–12 educational institutions that guide their incorporation pathways.…”

“…Prior research has acknowledged the need for more explicitly defined child welfare outcomes in terms of safety, permanency, and well‐being in relation to immigrant children (Dettlaff & Rycraft, 2010). As applied to unaccompanied children, these outcomes should take into account their migration and legal statuses, rather than focus more narrowly on maltreatment alone as is the norm in domestic child welfare (Cardoso et al, 2018; Crea, Lopez, et al, 2018). The results of this study show that the critical areas to consider beyond maltreatment include both physical and emotional safety; examining permanency in terms of placement type, legal status, and family reunification options; and using a holistic definition to well‐being including supports and social ties, integration, and health.…”

“…A wealth of literature exists around defining and measuring optimal outcomes for children involved in U.S. child welfare systems (ASFA, 1997; Barth, 1999; Eastman et al, 2019). However, unaccompanied immigrant children (UC) are a growing population in the United States with relatively little research about their involvement in child welfare systems (Cardoso et al, 2018; Grace et al, 2018). These children are placed in long‐term foster care because an appropriate caregiver is not available, whereas U.S.‐born youth typically enter care after parental or caregiver maltreatment (Crea, Lopez, et al, 2018).…”

“…A wide body of research examines immigrant integration in the United States (Egmont et al, 2021 ; Ham et al, 2017 ; Rodriguez et al, 2018 ). However, as noted by Cardoso and colleagues’ ( 2019 ) call for research, little research focuses on the adjustment process for unaccompanied immigrant children (hereafter referred to as UC), a vulnerable group of young people arriving to the US in increasing numbers. The research available largely focuses on clinical and case outcomes for UC (Crea et al, 2018 ; Hasson III et al, 2020 ; Jani et al, 2015 ; Menjivar & Perreira, 2019 ) rather than at the community or systems level (Cardoso et al, 2019 ; Caspari, 2020 ; Evans et al, 2020 ; Roschelle et al, 2018).…”
