Note: Standard errors in brackets. *, **, *** indicate significance at 10%, 5%, and 1% respectively. The dependent variable is school enrollment with a mean of 26.4 in
Panel A and 19.0 in Panel B. All households that fostered a child in 1998, 1999, or 2000 are included in the regressions. The dataset in Panel A consists of 640 host
siblings and 316 foster children measured over 3 years. The dataset in Panel B consists of 994 biological siblings and 316 foster children measured over 3 years. In Panel
A, I exclude 186 observations in which the child is under age 5 in a given year, and in Panel B, I exclude 298 observations for the same reason. For columns 3 and 6, the
omitted age category is children over age 12. Young children are aged 5, 6, or 7. Middle children are aged 8 to 11. Data source: Author’s survey.

a For columns 1, 2, 4, and 5, I include dummy variables for each age, but in columns 3 and 6, for ease of presentation, I interact the age categories young and middle
with (Ever Fostered*After Fostering) and with Ever Fostered. Results are qualitatively similar if I instead interact age dummies with those variables.
