The foster care system is a microcosm of the larger social welfaresystem in the United States and reflects the same gender, class, andracial inequities. Women, as key actors in the foster care system, struggle with conflicting expectations of mothering, representations offamily, and definitions of expertise that are inherently disempowering.This article examines women's roles as birth mothers, foster mothers,and social workers; outlines a conceptual framework for analyzing theproblems women confront; and proposes a reorientation of thinkingand practice in foster family care from a feminist perspective.
