- the history of foster care service
- available literature on the experience of foster carers
- public versus private domains in foster care
- motivations and roles of foster carers
- how foster carers perceive themselves and their foster children.
Based on a wide range of literature and in-depth interviews with forty-six foster carers, this book provides a valuable insight into the concerns, processes and experiences of foster carers in the UK.
