Which is NOT a permanency goal for children?

Reunification
Adoption
Extended foster care
Permanency through guardianship

The correct answer is: Extended foster care

Extended foster care is not considered a permanency goal for children. Rather, it serves as a temporary living arrangement designed to provide stability and support for youth as they transition into adulthood, particularly for those who are not yet ready for independent living or have not yet achieved permanency through other means. In contrast, reunification aims to return children to their biological families whenever it is safe and appropriate. Adoption represents a permanent legal commitment to a child, providing them with a stable, loving home. Permanency through guardianship is another option where a caregiver becomes the legal guardian of a child, offering a permanent family connection. Each of these goals seeks to establish a long-lasting and secure family environment for the child, which distinguishes them from extended foster care.
