The foster care system is much more complex than what many people realize. If operated in accordance with its design, “the system” would be for children who had no other options available to them. Potential foster families would be heavily screened, then approved for only certain age groups or for certain types of children, and foster care placements would be supervised both by individual foster care agencies and by the state’s Department of Health and Human Resources office.
If “the system” actually operated the way the government wants its citizens to believe it operates, I would not have a problem with foster care at all.
However, it doesn’t really work that way.
