Does foster care lead to adoption?
The goal of foster care is to provide a temporary home for children until they can return to their parents, other family members or go into independent living. In some cases, if the parents are unwilling or unable to resolve their problems, the Agency may consider freeing the child for adoption. If you have had a foster child in your home for twelve consecutive months, your application to adopt must be considered first.
