Family Foster Care provides a temporary home for children who can no longer be cared for by their parents because of abuse, neglect, sexual abuse or abandonment. If a child is removed from their family, Social Services first tries to place the child in a family setting- Family Foster Care.

The goal of family foster care is to provide a safe, nurturing place for children to live until they can be reunited with their own families, placed with relatives, or adopted.

Adoption is the means of transferring to the child and parents all the legal rights that would exist if that child had been born to those parents.
The value of adoption is to provide children with the needs that are basic to every child: the legal status, social status, and the commitment that comes from having a family of your own in which to grow up in.

Goal: Reunification.

The goal from the beginning when a child enters foster care is to promote permanency of placement.

Foster care is a temporary solution that provides a structured nurturing environment for the child while issues at home are resolved.
