Do Children In Foster Care Remain In Foster Care Permanently?
When children go into foster care, usually the goal is for their parents to be provided with help so that the children can eventually go back to live with them. Sometimes help is provided to the parents, and they are still unable to meet the requirements necessary to get their kids back. If a child is in foster care for 15 out of 22 months, the parents’ rights are terminated. About 54% of children in foster care are able to return to their parents, though!
