Abstract: In Hungary, foster parents play a key role in the child protection system, which emphasizes family-based care. The aim of our research was to explore the motivations behind foster parenting decisions, with a particular focus on the significance of altruism and family stability. In a pilot survey, we collected data from 102 foster parents using quantitative questionnaires. Our analysis highlighted that intrinsic motivations, such as altruism and empathy, outweigh external factors like financial incentives. Foster parenting motivations are influenced by various social and demographic factors, including marital status, educational attainment, and financial circumstances. The findings underline the need for targeted support programs that can enhance the effectiveness of foster parenting and improve the quality of child protection services. The study’s conclusions contribute to strengthening the societal perception of foster parenting and informing the development of child protection policies.
