African American female adolescents ages twelve and older make up a little more than eight percent of the 500,000 or more children who are part of the nation's foster care system. Erikson's psychosocial stages of development underscore the importance of working on the critical tasks of identity versus role confusion for adolescents in an ideologically structured environment. Challenges to his theory state that identity development may be different for women and members of minority groups. In addition, most empirical research has focused on adolescent development within the context of a family. The purpose of the following research was first, to understand the meaning and experience of the foster care experience for a marginalized population---that of African American female adolescents---and secondly, to understand the meaning and experience of identity development from those African American women who have experienced the phenomenon of foster care during adolescence. A qualitative research study was designed to focus on the area, maximize the common epistemological traditions of social work and the African American experience, and integrate knowledge from the arenas of practice wisdom, the discipline of social work and the knowledge of those who have experienced the phenomenon. The findings indicate that instead of evidence of participation in role experimentation for African American female adolescents in foster care, the experience of foster care resulted in an additional socialization experience. The research supports the identity-as-dimensional construct of West Stevens (2004) who has written that African American female adolescents must negotiate a difficult triadic socialization experience that includes socialization as a member of mainstream society, as a member of groups devalued by race and gender and as a member of her cultural reference group or the world-view of African-Americans.
