Foster parenting provides temporary family care to children that were disadvantaged for some reason. Foster parenting is a government-sponsored aspect of many countries, but there are also many private agencies available that manage foster care. For the most part, parents interested in providing foster care fill out an application and go through an acceptance process. From there, children are suited with foster parents and the process begins.

Foster parenting typically applies to children that are considered minors, but there are certain cases in which co parenting foster care is taken on, usually in cases of children over the legal age that are disabled or have mental deficiencies. In some cases, co parenting foster care is also given to children over the legal age that the state requires be still “attached” to other family members that are already in the foster parenting system.
