"A study by the Chapin Hall Center for Children found that 19-year-old youth in Illinois who chose to remain in foster care experienced better results...The Illinois youth received more independent living services, progressed further in their education, had more access to health and mental health services, and experienced less economic hardship and involvement in the criminal justice system than did those who left care."
