Organization and functioning of the professional Foster Care Service

Historical experience, as well as the most recent studies in the field, demonstrate that the family is the most suitable environment for raising a child. It provides a human-centered setting, constantly oriented toward ensuring the child’s well-being and safety, creating not only the necessary material conditions but also the psycho-emotional and social support required for the child’s development and preparation for adult life. No other human institution has proven to be as adequate for a child’s development.
