The aim of this special issue is to examine the outcomes of children who were raised for part of their childhood in out-of-home care, including in foster care and institutions. There is a growing body of literature examining the transition to adulthood for young people leaving care. While these studies generally show that youths raised in care are at risk of experiencing adverse outcomes in adulthood, the amount of literature is still small. This special issue was initiated to bring together studies on the aftercare experiences of women and men, from a variety of disciplines, covering different countries and historical periods.

特刊简介：在家庭护理中成长的儿童的结局

本期专刊的目的是研究在家庭照料中（包括寄养和机构中）在童年时期成长的儿童的结局。越来越多的文献研究离开护理的年轻人向成年的过渡。尽管这些研究通常表明，在照料中成长的年轻人有成年后出现不良后果的风险，但文献数量仍然很少。发起本期专刊是为了将来自不同学科，涵盖不同国家和历史时期的男女照护经历的研究汇总在一起。
