“The Family Type Home was introduced – the first attempt at foster family care in the post-Soviet era, providing evidence and inspiration for a changing system. This book charts the history of this family care in Moldova. It measures the impact of family care on the health, development and life chances of the children, compared with institutional care. It provides a roadmap for Moldova to scale up foster family care across the country.”

European Commission Daphne Programme Directorate-General Justice and Home Affairs, WHO Regional Office for Europe, University of Birmingham, UK, 2007
“The revolutions of 1989 and 1990 across the former Soviet Union and Eastern Bloc, revealed more than a million children languishing in large orphanages.

But improvements to buildings did not lead to improved outcomes for children."
