Best Answer

If the child is taken from the home and has no relatives/family friends to take them in. If the child is being abused at their home. If the parent(s)/guardian puts them in foster care because of their behavior problems, the inability to care for the child (financial/emotional), or if the parent just plain doesn't want them anymore (the courts will terminate their parental rights completely).

Foster care and adoption is not the same thing. Yes, you get to meet your adoptive parents before they adopt you. That is not always the case with foster care since if a child is abused for instance the foster families are ready to receive you in the middle of the night sometimes, when it's needed. Foster care is not meant to be permanent like adoption.
