[afth.org] What's The Difference Between Foster Care And Adoption? Adoption is forever, foster children often reunite with their birth parents.

Children go into foster care, and are then placed under the care of foster parents, when their birth parents can't care for them. Legally, children in foster care have been placed under the custody [监护] of a state agency. Foster care placements are usually mediated by the court system or a social services agency. The foster care system also places children in group homes. Foster parents are certified by the state in which they live. Foster care is almost always assumed to be temporary, with the goal of reuniting a child with his or her birth parents after it's been determined that they can properly provide for their child financially, emotionally and socially.

For adoption, on the other hand, birth parents voluntarily [自愿地] relinquish [放弃] their parental rights because they have decided it's in the best interest of their child. Adoption also offers legal security to adoptive parents and children in a way that foster care doesn't. In most states, children who remain in foster care only do so until they reach the age of 18.
