The foster care system is a temporary arrangement designed to provide a safe and nurturing environment for children who cannot live with their biological families. This can occur due to various reasons, such as neglect, abuse, or parental issues. Children in foster care are placed with licensed caregivers, known as foster parents, who provide support and stability until a permanent solution is found. The goal of the foster care system is to reunite children with their families whenever possible. If reunification is not feasible, the system may seek to place the child in a permanent home through adoption or guardianship. Social workers play a crucial role in overseeing the well-being of children in foster care and facilitating their transition to a stable living situation.
