pre-adoption placement

Foster care is a great way to become a parent, and it's sometimes easier to foster than adopt.

There are 7 types of foster care to explore:

Long-Term or Permanent Foster Care
A child may enter into foster care and expect a short-term fostering placement, but something can happen which makes it impossible for her to return home; or a family may choose long-term fosterig instead of adoption because of an anticipated high level of support; or an older child will be adamant that he doesn't want to be adopted.
