Actually, if you do some research on ffamilies vs relatives abandoning "sick" kids or abused kids you'll find that the vast majority that do that are NON relatives...relatives have a higher percentage of keeping the kids in their homes and trying the hardest.
Maybe that's because it's easier to give up on a non relative VS a relative? I don't know but take a look at this study:

And far as being better then each other I don't think that was the reason for this thread. I think it's more that biofamilies are feeling ffamilies are not wanting to work with RU and biofamilies when they do come forward and are cleared to take the kids which causes a harder transition for the kids.
