Abstract
Many adolescents in foster care who are not adopted are discharged from care when they reach the age of majority. This article reviews studies on the likely social and educational futures for such adolescents and on the range of services that may promote adolescents' successful transition to independent living. Changes in practices, programs, and policies are suggested.Keywords
