Abstract: Orme and Buehler's article, “Foster Family Characteristics and Behavioral and Emotional Problems of Foster Children: A Narrative Review,” is an important and timely contribution to the child welfare literature. Foster care placement has been increasing for almost 2 decades, and the new millennium finds a record number of children in care. Recent federal legislation has raised concerns among child welfare professionals that this trend will continue and perhaps even become more serious. Thus, the authors' synthesis of research on families in general, and foster families in particular, may be even more important in the future.
