COMING-HOME WOES Kids in foster care should be reunited with their biological families when possible. That's been the prevailing wisdom. But a study spanning six years published in the journal Pediatrics sees reason for caution. Researchers found that kids reunited with their families had higher levels of risky behavior and substance use and were more likely to drop out of school or be arrested than kids who remained in foster care.

They were trying to be judicious about it, and they may have more realistic expectations about what they can achieve. The caution with which they're proceeding is part of the lesson learned from the Clinton years. Still, at some point they calculated that staying out was more dangerous to U.S. interests throughout the region than going...
