What was the main purpose of the Children's Bureau?

  1. Establishing requirements for receiving federal funding

  2. Placing orphans with Midwestern farm families

  3. Concern for the welfare of children

  4. Governing state court child custody cases involving Indian children

The correct answer is: Concern for the welfare of children

The correct answer is C: Concern for the welfare of children. The main purpose of the Children's Bureau is to advocate for the well-being of children, ensure their safety, promote their health, and support families in providing a nurturing environment for their children. It is a federal agency that focuses on child welfare issues and works to improve outcomes for children and families across the United States. While the other options may be activities or initiatives related to child welfare in some way, they do not capture the core mission and purpose of the Children's Bureau as being fundamentally about the welfare and well-being of children.
