Government Clarifies Foster Care Eligibility for Young Children

Imagine a rule about where kids can live when they can't live with their parents.

The government has made it very clear that children younger than six cannot be placed in foster care.

Some people were confused about the rules, so the government sent out a reminder.

This rule is meant to make sure everyone follows the same guidelines.

Foster care is for kids who can't live with their parents but aren't ready to be adopted.

The number of kids in different kinds of care outside of institutions has gone up a lot recently.
