Abstract: The Foster care system in America was formulated keeping in mind to provide a safe place for children who cannot stay with their biological parents due to various reasons.Historically, the system offered temporary security.However, placement instability, insufficient funds, and regulatory failures posed regular challenges to all the parties involved.Lack of resources leads to inadequate training and mental health support.As a result, children faced mental health issues, emotional Trauma, substance abuse, and homelessness.A well-rounded revamping of policies, increased funding, community collaboration, and innovative strategies are pivotal for the system to meet the needs of children.
