title: Issues in foster family care: where do we stand?
abstract: An overview of recent findings about children and families in foster care describes the population, reviews positive and negative results of foster care, and raises such clinical and policy issues as the beneficial outcomes of long-term foster care, the economic crisis for foster parents, and the vulnerability of minority children and families. Implications for research are discussed.
