What is foster care?
Foster care provides temporary homes for children whose parents are unable to care for them. This can be due to various reasons, including neglect, abuse, or illness. The aim is to offer a safe and stable environment while families work towards reunification or, if that's not possible, to find a permanent adoptive home. Melania Trump's programme supports young people transitioning from foster care.
