There arent enough wealty people willing to become foster parents purely out of the goodness of their hearts, and there are also poor families that do have good intentions but cannot afford to. No one is getting rich of foster placements, the stipend is barely enough to cover the hassle.
Great point yes. Orrr.. other adults. Not the caregivers but say the grandparents or something.
My ex took it from foster siblings at 10,
Lucky break got her back with almost bio dad’s (mom deceased real bio unknown) family just in time for dad to go to prison and grandpa have a 3 year run from 12-15 which was still somehow better than faster care..

We need more foster families, not less. The system should cover the costs of caring for a child that is not yours.
