What is the difference between foster care and Foster to adopt?
Foster care is a temporary situation where a child lives in a home and receives care from a foster family, usually when they cannot safely remain with their birth family. Foster to adopt is a program where prospective adoptive parents become foster parents with the hope of ultimately adopting the child in their care. In foster to adopt, the birth family retains their parental rights until the adoption process is finalized, allowing more time to work on reunification if desired.
