'''Foster care''' is a system in 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 a "foster 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.
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.
