About this organization
Fostering is a single person or family caring for children who cannot live with their own families. It typically happens on a short-term basis.
The goal of fostering is to help children return to their own home or move to a new permanent home. Foster families help children maintain contact with their own family and culture while providing day-to-day care.
Why do children come into care?
Children come into care for a number of reasons, such as when a parent:
- is unable to provide a safe home for the child;
- is unable to provide the type of care the child needs;
- dies without naming a guardian; or
- decides adoption is the best option for their child.
