Foster Care programs provide temporary care for a child , they are provided food clothing shelter
and anyother type of care until the age of 18. To be in Foster Care you have to be indifyed as and
orphan being a abused or just negeleted period . Being in Foster Care helps you get back with
your original family like i said beffor it only temporary but can can up to years until your family
is fit to take care of you or someone is willing to adopt you .Being in Foster Care can be really
scary for someone ,the thought of livinng with strangers is always scary but just think about tis
The Agency would put you with someone who its qualfied to take care of you . Foster Parents
go through a lot to they have to go to classes to assure them that they are fit to do the job.
Research on the relationship between parental incarceration and foster care placement is limited
it focuses solely on maternal imprisonment and provides neither strong causal tests nor tests of
mediationsms.
