Sexual abuse, violence, negligence, starvation, abandonment.
Some children go into foster care when a loving parent is temporarily unable to care for the child due to illness, homelessness or job loss - when no other family member is able to take over.
Occasionally a parent is just not able to provide appropriate care for a child, this too can lead to foster care.
Because they are abused or abandoned by their parents, their parents have fallen on hard times or illness and cannot care for them, they become orphans or their parents gave them up for adoption and for many other reasons.
If the child's parent(s) are suspected of being unable to provide for the child's basic needs, or if the parent(s) are having trouble of their own that would cause the needs of the child to be unmet.
A child could end up in foster care if he or she was abandoned by their parents, abuse or neglect could also cause a child to end up in the foster care system. Sexual abuse, substance abuse by the parents and criminal activity could cause a child to be part of the foster care system.
There are 78,000 Canadian children in foster care of which 30,000 of them are from parents whose rights have been terminated by the courts and therefore these children will spend their childhood and youth until age 18 in foster facilities.
There is no statistical information collected on the number of children becoming available for adoption in the US. The number would include those in private adoption, kinship placements, children moving from foster care to foster adoption, as well as readoptions resulting from disruption.
In the US, orphanage is an obsolete term, and instead children in the care of the state are cared for in either foster homes or group homes; in both cases, you are in foster care. In general, the preference of the system is to put children in care into foster homes instead of group homes whenever possible. If you really wish to reside in a group home instead of a foster home, you should talk to your case worker, therapist and/or Guardian at Litem (or Attourney At Litem)
US child care relied mostly on "homes" and institutions up through the 1980s. Around the 1960s-70s, state run group homes and institutions closed and children went into foster care placements, if available.
The rules regarding leaving foster care vary depending on your location and circumstances. In some cases, you may need permission from the court or your caseworker to leave foster care before turning 18. It is recommended to discuss your desire to leave foster care with your caseworker or a trusted adult to understand the process and potential implications.
Your question is unclear to me. However, I will let you know about me. I was a foster child, along with my 4 siblings, as our mother died when i was 3. I/we were raised in foster homes until we each graduated from high school. This was in the 1940s and in New York state. I am now an adult of many years and in the process of writing my story of living in foster care. Carol J. Pettengill
it is very great to foster parents because not everyone in the world has parents so foster parents look after those children.
