Question

What is the difference betweenfoster parent & permanent placement?

Answer 1

A foster parent is a family that is licensed by the state to care for a child, who is placed out of the child's biological home. Legal custody remains with the courts, which holds it in lieu of the biological parents. The placement may be short term or long term.

In a permanent placement, the courts severe legal custody of the children from the biological parents and transfer it to the adoptive parents, who become the child's permanent and legal parents with all pertaining rights and responsibilities.

Answer 2

if you are a foster parent the state does a thorough background check on you and everyone that lives in your home you have to have your homeup to certain standards and when a child is placed there it is usually only until the child can be returned to their home or until he can be placed with family. a permanent placement means that you get custody of the child and depending on if the child's parents lose parental rights or not you may or may not get full legal and physical custody. if the parent has parental rights then you become that child's legal guardian and there will be things that the parent through a social worker still may or may not have a say in. to give you a short version foster is temporary and permanent is what it says permanent. basically the child is your responsibility.

Answer 3

foster parents have children for a period of time while the state tries to find them a home or their birth parents fix what they did wrong and the child gets to go home. permanent placement is a child that is placed in a home permanently either as a foster, kinship, or adoption

Answer 4

foster placement is temporary, parents have joint parental responsibility with social services. adoption is permanent,adoptive parents have parental responsibility. long term fostering is a permanent arrangement where the child stays until they are 16, parental responsibility remains with social services.

Answer 5

Fostering is usually temporary.  The stae usually has "Guardianship" of the child and the State is the only one who can give medical consent.  When YOU have "Guardianship" the child is now in a permenant situation.  This allows you now to be able to make all the legal decisions and allows yo uto make the medical decisions.

Answer 6

From what my understanding of it. Foster parenting can take children in there homes and take care of them but if something happends like one of there children wanting to be adopted or they cant take care of some of then those said children will be removed from there home. My daugther is living will her adoptive parents but they are just fostering her right now until the judge gives them the court date which is very soon they cant wait. Permanent placing is what they and I want for her that's means she's thiers and they are her parents they all full costudy instead of temp right now.
