Abstract:

As the controversy between foster home care and institutional care has diminished, the author contends, the gap between the "typical" foster home and the "typical" institution has been bridged by a number of intermediate settings. This development has enabled care options to meet children's needs more precisely, the author explains, but it has also made the process of choosing care options more complex.
