For hundreds of years, children that could no longer live with their parents for whatever reason were housed in orphanages. After many studies and as people became more aware of the long term impact of being brought up in an institutional evironment, it became clear that a family situation - even a temporary one - was prefered to orphanages. Slowly the legal system changed to recognize this too and the foster care system was developed to answer this need.
