This article addresses key concerns surrounding dominant views of foster care being the best alternative care option for vulnerable children in South Affica. Legislation, policies and infrastructure all support this position, yet family life in South Aftica is being corroded by, amongst other factors, HIV/AIDS and poverty. The authors cite both ecological and structural theoretical perspectives in furthering this debate.
