Foster care is a temporary living arrangement for children who cannot safely remain with their biological families due to abuse, neglect, or other family challenges. In the foster care system, these children are placed in the care of trained foster parents or in group homes where they receive support, stability, and care while their families work toward resolving the issues that led to the separation. The primary goal of foster care is to ensure the child's safety and well-being while striving for reunification with their biological family whenever possible. If reunification isn't an option, alternative permanent solutions, such as adoption, may be pursued.
