What is the foster care system, and how does it work?

Foster care is a state-run system that provides temporary housing to children whose biological families are unable to provide them with a stable or secure home. These children are placed in foster families, group homes, or institutions by the state while attempting to reunify them with their biological families or place them into permanent adoptive homes. The system is child-centered, with the provision of support services to foster children and parents. Foster care system may be short-term or even years based on different circumstances and family reunification process via the court of law.
