The purpose of foster care is to provide substitute family or group care for a child while an intensive effort is made to correct or improve the conditions causing placement and to reunite the family or, if the child cannot be returned home, to provide some other permanent plan.
Foster care may be provided only after services to prevent the need for placement of a child in foster care have been considered, provided, or refused by the child's family.
