I would imagine that making the decision to care for a child is a big decision. There is a time consideration and a financial consideration, and there are so many other pieces that connect to it. Sometimes it can be very difficult.

In removing barriers by providing time, for example, which ends up providing more resources, I assume there would be an uptick in potential placements, adoptions or providing care, which would contribute to that 1,700 number.

Is there any research or has anything been looked at to support that claim?
