Shelley Geballe, J.D., a civil rights attorney with a speciality in child welfare and AIDS law, is in the MPH/PhD program at the Yale School of Medicine.

"This timely, urgently-needed book, compiled and co-authored by experts in pediatrics, psychology, public health, public administration, and the law, is concerned with children in the AIDS epidemic who are at risk of being neglected and forgotten. Although timely and painfully at the cutting edge of our ignorance, this volume is also a fine repository of our best knowledge that will be an essential reference for years to come. It is also a marker for historians and clinical scholars who are concerned with preparing and planning for epidemics yet to come. We are indebted to the editors and contributors to Forgotten Children of the AIDS Epidemic because they have enabled us to apply our understanding in limiting damage to these children and in enlarging and advancing our knowledge about all children and their families. They have lifted our awareness to a level of sophistication and hope that is useful and worthwhile."—Albert J. Solnit, M.D., Commissioner Department of Mental Health State of Connecticut"In ways that many would have never imagined only a few short years ago, AIDS is leaving an indelible mark on this nation and the world. Confronted by a society that is alternately indifferent and viciously hateful, children who have endured the illness and death of a parent, or more often both parents, to AIDS have at long last begun to be considered as a group, with distinct and urgent needs. Forgotten Children of the AIDS Epidemic combines the personal experience of these children and their parents with the insight of a broad range of professionals and will serve as an invaluable primer as we confront more often the problems of the orphans of AIDS."—Anthony Turney, Executive Director, The Names Project Foundation
