    Foster care has been a process of successes and failures. Originally Foster Care was established for poor and poverty stricken families who were unable to adequately provide for their children. Prior to welfare involvement, children were simply placed with family members or community members who were able to care for the child. In 1636, Benjamin Eaton became the first official “foster” child. Since that time, numerous laws and policies have been set up in an effort to care for children who have experienced abuse or neglect and provide temporary services to families in crisis (Barbell & Freundlich, 2001).…

    Social service workers attempt to find the right foster home for the child, even as families and social service agencies battle out custody questions before a judge who offers parents multiple chances to regain custody of their child in the meantime, men women and children openly give their home to a foster child for an undetermined amount of time until they are adopted, transferred to another house, or returned to their biological family. But the challenge only grows if there is more than one child trying to be placed. For some of the children it is not only them being moved from their home, it is their siblings too and due to a shortage of homes and the number of parents willing to take two or more children is quite small, forcing the siblings to be placed into separate homes.
