Dane County foster parents care for children who cannot remain with birth families for a variety of reasons; including child maltreatment, medical issues, physical disabilities or the emotional or physical needs of their parents. Almost all children in Foster Care in Dane County need temporary placements until they can safely return home or to a relative. There is no expectation that foster parents will adopt foster children placed with them, although some adoptions do occur through the State of Wisconsin Special Needs Adoption program.
