Foster Care

Foster Care is Child Abandonment

  • Police remove children from home for drug activity
  • State may remove child on Failure to Thrive or Neglect issues
  • Parents voluntarily give children up to state
  • State places child in foster care when no family member is available to care for children whose parents are incarcerated
  • Foster care begins as a temporary solution
  • Parents of children in foster care are required to meet certain standards to get their children back
  • Parents are allowed to fail but within a time frame
  • Parents are expected to visit their child's foster home
  • If parents don't meet the requirements in a timely manner the state may sever parental rights
  • Children are then placed for adoption
  • Older children will languish in foster care until they turn 18
  • Foster children move from home to home as care givers move out of state or give up caring for children
Parents who are incarcerated for more than 3 years (see state requirements) have their parental rights terminated in order to give the child a permanent home.
