Adoption - A Child's Questions and Concerns  
Learn about the kinds of questions adopted children often ask, from the American Academy of Pediatrics. Do your best to answer questions honestly and in a way that will be easy for your child to understand at his age. It is important to develop trust between you and your child.

Foster Families 
The word "foster" means to help someone (or something) grow and develop. It also means to take care of someone's needs. Foster parents, then, are people - other than a kid's parents - who provide a safe place for kids to be cared for. They take kids into their homes and let them stay for a while.

Adoption is the welcoming of a child who has been born to other parents into a new family. Birth parents have many different reasons for putting children up for adoption; most decide that they want better lives for their children than they feel they can provide.
