WHEN A CHILD NEEDS TO BE PLACED AWAY FROM THEIR PARENT FOR A PERIOD DUE TO CONCERNS OF ABUSE, NEGLECT OR MALTREATMENT, THE FOSTER HOME PROVIDES A HEALTHY AND SAFE ENVIRONMENT FOR THE CHILD UNTIL REUNIFICATION CAN OCCUR. UNLIKE ADOPTION, FOSTER CARE IS TEMPORARY; IT IS NOT MEANT TO BE FOREVER. ADOPTION: WHEN CHILDREN CANNOT RETURN TO LIVE SAFELY WITH THEIR BIRTH FAMILIES, CHILD AND FAMILY SERVICES' ADOPTION PROGRAM MATCHES CHILDREN WITH LOVING, COMMITTED FAMILIES WHO WILL PROVIDE PERMANENCY TO THE CHILD THROUGH ADOPTION.
