foster family
A foster family is a family unit that cares for and raises children who are not biologically related to them by legal mandate, generally due to instances where the child's biological family is unable to provide appropriate or necessary care. This arrangement is typically temporary and under the supervision of social services or an equivalent body until the child can be returned to their biological family, be adopted, or achieve independence. In some cases, the foster family may also eventually adopt the child.
