In cooperation with the International Foster Care Organisation (IFCO), this special issue highlights family foster care programs from various countries and includes new articles by child welfare administrators and practitioners, foster parent associ-ations, educators, and researchers. Letter of support from IFCO "An international perspective on child welfare makes us more aware, humane and effective on a larger scale. We discover that human beings have similar needs and face similar or more serious challenges around the world and that, through mutual sharing, good solutions can be arrived at sooner."   —Rosemarie Carbino, guest editor.
