What is foster family?

Answer 1

A foster family is when a child who is in a foster home is fostered. Children in foster homes are children who have parents that are too busy to look after them, ill with a serious illness or have died. People can foster a child and look after a child ( a bit like adopting) but most of the time their parents are still alive so the child can't be adopted but can be fostered. The children can still see their parents and people they met at their foster home.
