Shortage of Foster Homes

Many foster families are adopting and this is cause the families to stop doing foster care. With so many people stoping that is causing a huge need for foster families. Also right now their is a huge inflammation of kids going into foster care so the need it even more greater (Lezman). The amount of sibling groups is also high and not many foster families are willing to take two foster kids many of these kids will never see their siblings again ("Life in Foster Care"). Having such a large amount of kids in the system cause a need for foster families and foster families who will take sibling groups. "We need to value and support foster carers instead of fixating on adoption," (Rees). The support a foster parent gives to a young child can effect that child. Foster care helps so many, but we have no were to put these kids who need love.
