One misconception that society has for foster youth that are placed in relative foster homes is that they do not experience the same emotional turmoil as other foster youth that are placed in foster homes with non-relatives.

Foster Care a Trapped Door Is foster care a safety net or a trapped door? Children come into foster care needing a safe place. They need to be able to either find a adopted home, be reunified with their parents or parent, or live in a stable home with a family member.
