foster care reunification
Foster care reunification is the process of reuniting a child with their birth family after they have been placed in foster care due to safety concerns or neglect. The goal is to address and resolve issues that led to separation, ensuring the child's well-being and stability. This involves working with social workers, family members, and support services to create a safe environment for the child to return home. Reunification is considered the preferred outcome when it is safe and in the child's best interest, aiming to restore family bonds whenever possible.
