title: Foster care in the Soviet Union.
abstract: The recently established Soviet Children's Fund has been making significant progress in developing present day, diversified forms of foster care for children who are casualties, as it were, of decades of social deterioration. The Fund has become a national promoter of the rights of children and has enlisted both the public and the government in supporting programs to protect children and to care for those who need out-of-home care.
