Long-term Foster Care
Definition: The intentional and planned placement of a child in foster care for an extended period of time. After adoption has been explored and not selected, and relative options are not feasible, a goal of planned long-term foster care may be seen as a viable goal. Increasingly, some States' child welfare systems no longer view long-term foster care as a placement alternative.
