Extract

Perhaps the best definition of foster-care is that of the influential, and extremely carefully drafted, Standards of Child Welfare League of America:

… The Child Welfare Service which provides substitute family care for a planned period for a child when his own family cannot care for him for a temporary or extended period, and when adoption is neither desirable or possible.
