Families come in all shapes and sizes. Some kids live with both parents. Others live with either just mom or just dad or go back and forth between their parents' homes. Others might live with a grandparent. And some kids live with a foster family. All children need someone to take care of them. Kids need a house, a place to sleep, nutritious food to eat, clothes to wear, and toys to play with. Kids also need someone who will take them to the doctor and dentist, make sure they get a bath, and get them up in the morning so they get to school. And just as important, kids need someone who loves them and does not hurt or abuse them. An well-monitored foster care can ensure that children who cannot be cared for by their families still grow up in a family environment and respect for a child’s right to grow up in a family environment.
