The Foster Care System is a public service designed to provide temporary care for children who cannot live with their biological families due to various reasons, such as abuse, neglect, or parental issues. These children are placed in the homes of licensed caregivers, known as foster parents, who provide a safe and nurturing environment until they can be reunited with their families or adopted.
Foster care aims to ensure the well-being of children while addressing their emotional and physical needs. The system involves various stakeholders, including social workers, courts, and child welfare agencies, all working together to support the best interests of the child throughout the process.
