Did You Know?
Foster Care is a temporary service that provides short-term care and
supportive services to children who are unable to live at home because of child
abuse or neglect. Through a court order these children are placed with licensed
foster homes, group homes and other institutions.
Twenty-three counties in Maryland and Baltimore City operate foster care
programs. Foster care caseworkers work with the birth and foster families to
develop the most appropriate permanency plan for each child. Reunification
with parents, placement with relatives, and adoption are examples of
permanency plans. Also, some children receive services that teach them to be
independent young adults if for some reason they cannot reunite with their
family. The foster care caseworker assists the birth and foster families in
obtaining the services, such as counseling and health care, needed to meet the
goals of the permanency plan. Each foster care program also works to recruit,
train, approve and retain foster care providers.
Foster Care Program Goals

To place all foster children into a permanent living arrangement within a
maximum of 15 months from the date they entered foster care.
To increase the number of foster parents willing to work with birth
families.
To assist teenagers in the foster care system in becoming self-sufficient.
Who are the Children in Foster Care?
Children in foster care are children from your neighborhood. They are children
who want to remain attached to their families despite their experiences. They
are children whose families need the help of your family. They can be of any
race, infants to teenagers, and of either sex. They are abused or neglected,
and some have been exposed to domestic violence or substance abuse.
At the end of May 2008, there were 6,000+ children in foster care placements.
The foster care program expenditures for FY 08 were million of dollars. Foster
care is funded with a combination of state and federal monies and child
support. (Source: BCDSS)
