When a child is placed in foster care

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Foster care is meant to be a temporary arrangement while the child's birth family works on resolving issues that led to the child being placed in foster care. The foster family receives financial support from the state for caring for the child during this period. Option A is incorrect because foster care is not an adoption. Option B is incorrect because the age at which a child ages out of the system varies depending on the state. Option C is incorrect because reunification with birth parents is always the goal of foster care unless it is determined to not be in the child's best interest.
