Title: For Love and Money: Women as Foster Mothers
Abstract: In traditional foster care, the child welfare system has generally pitted foster mothers and natural mothers against each other as "good" and "bad" mothers, according to the prevailing ideologies about motherhood. This article describes how a progressive Australian foster care agency, with feminist insights into this situation, has attempted to organize foster care in ways that emphasize collaboration, rather than conflict, between the women who are involved.
