What is the difference between an adoptive family and a foster family?

Fostering becomes adoption at the point where CPS/the foster care system gives up their custody of the child. Basically, they sometimes remain involved to provide support, but they have no parental authority like they do with foster children.

What percentage of foster kids are reunited with family?

U.S. ADOPTION FOSTER CARE STATISTICS Over 108,000 of these children are eligible for adoption and they will wait, on average, almost three years for an adoptive family. 46% of the children and youth who left foster care were reunited with their families, 6% were living with a relative, and 27% were adopted.
