Adoption and Fostering
Adoption and fostering are ways to provide stable, caring homes for children who cannot live with their birth families. Fostering involves temporarily caring for a child, offering a safe environment while decisions about their permanent arrangements are made. Adoption is a legal process that makes a child a full member of a new family, giving them permanent, lifelong security. Both options aim to support a child's well-being, but foster care can be temporary, whereas adoption provides a permanent family relationship.
