[quote=Anonymous]Another reason is that often children in the foster care system are neglected or have issues that require more attention. The ideal is to have someone available to parent them and provide attention. I have a co-worker who has children of his own and then fostered a young brother-sister pair. The two had issues of neglect stemming from a mother with substance abuse issues and from general neglect such as social dysfunction. The foster system was looking for someone with a stay at home parent to care for them to give them more constant and direct attention rather than attention via a nanny or daycare in addition to the foster parents. They were hoping for simpler situations with fewer caretakers involved. [/quote]
