What is Foster Adoption?
Foster adoption allows families to adopt children who are in the foster care system and in need of a stable, permanent home. Unlike private or international adoption, this process often involves children who have been temporarily placed in foster care due to difficult circumstances. Foster adoption provides these children with the opportunity to grow up in a safe and loving environment.
