Foster Care & Adoption

Foster care is a system where children who cannot live with their biological families are placed in temporary homes with trained caregivers. The goal is to provide a safe environment until the child can reunite with their family or be placed for adoption. Adoption, on the other hand, is a legal process where individuals or couples become the permanent parents of a child, providing them with a stable, loving home. Both foster care and adoption aim to ensure the well-being of children in need, offering them support and the opportunity for a better future.

Foster care adoption is a process where individuals or couples adopt children who are in the foster care system, typically due to neglect or abuse in their biological families. These children may have been removed from their homes and placed in temporary care with foster parents. When reunification with their birth families isn’t possible, the foster parents or other approved candidates can choose to adopt them, providing the child with a permanent, loving home. This process involves legal proceedings, background checks, and training, ensuring that the adoption supports the child's best interests and emotional needs.
