The Ministry of Human Services and Social Security’s Childcare and Protection Agency (CPA) has placed 66 children with foster families this year, in keeping with its goal to reduce the number of children in institutionalised care.
This brings the total to 220 children (109 girls and 111 boys) with 131 foster parents, the Department of Public Information (DPI) reported yesterday.
Nineteen children were reunited with their biological families and three were adopted by their foster parents, the CPA said in its annual review.
