This book draws on archival, oral history and public policy sources
to tell a history of foster care in Australia from the nineteenth
century to the present day. It is, primarily, a social history
which places the voices of people directly touched by foster care
at the centre of the story, but also within the wider social and
political debates which have shaped foster care across more than a
century. The book confronts foster care's difficult past-death and
abuse of foster children, family separation, and a general public
apathy towards these issues-but it also acknowledges the resilience
of people who have survived a childhood in foster care, and the
challenges faced by those who have worked hard to provide good
foster homes and to make child welfare systems better. These are
themes which the book examines from an Australian perspective, but
which often resonate with foster care globally.
