We need to value foster care, not fixate on adoption

We need to value foster care, not fixate on adoption

Many children can spend years, and sometimes their entire childhoods, with foster carers, enjoying every benefit of the stability and support they should normally expect from birth families. In fact, only a small minority of the 78,000 British children in the care system are being considered for adoption, and it is important that fostering should not be regarded as some kind of automatic conveyor belt towards adoption.

Note: Some kids can go back home too.  I don't think the British Authorities realize that.
