Question by Vex: How is a child who is NOT adopted looked after?
I had been told that orphanages pretty much no longer exist in Canada, and that children who are not adopted are worked through foster homes until they are 18.

When I looked into becoming a foster parent (something I have thought about doing when I hit 25 if everything works out), I read that foster families are used with the long-term goal of reuniting the child with their biological parent(s). Nothing was mentioned about children who were put up for adoption.

I, myself was adopted, but at only a month old, so I wouldn?t know how the process works.

I don?t want to be horribly misinformed on something I plan to pursue in the future, so if anyone can help me understand the process children who are not adopted go through, that would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

It should be the same. Those that are up for adoption will remain in foster care homes. If they get adopted they will then be taken out of foster care and put into their new homes. If they dont they remain in foster care. Most of the children never actually get adopted. At least thats how it is here.
