Line 4: [[File:Childrens migrant programme.jpg\|upright=1.35\|thumb\|Children of the United Kingdom's [[Home Children\|Child Migration Programme]] – many of whom were placed in foster care in Australia]] '''Foster care''' is a system onin which a [[underage\|minor]] has been placed into a [[ward (law)\|ward]], [[group home]] ([[Residential Child Care Community\|residential child care community]], [[Treatment centre\|treatment center]], etc.), or private home of a state-[[certified]] caregiver, referred to as a "foster parent", or with a family member approved by the state. The placement of the child is normally arranged through the government or a social service agency. The institution, group home, or foster parent is compensated for expenses unless with a family member. In some states, relative or "Kinship" caregivers of children who are wards of the state are provided with a financial stipend. The state, via the [[family court]] and [[child protective services]] agency, stand ''[[in loco parentis]]'' to the minor, making all legal decisions while the foster parent is responsible for the day-to-day care of the minor.
