With foster care, foster parents are paid monthly by the state to ensure that the children are cared for. Each child receives an allowance each month to spend money. The Department of Children's Services (DCS) provides foster families who adopt money for children until they turn eighteen, and even before the adoption the state sends money to help care for children in foster care. According to the Tennessee Department of Child Services. “When children cannot be safe in their homes and there is no relative to care for them, they often end up in state custody. The children's department's primary goal is to work toward their safe return home to their families” (1 Fostering and Adoption). Another form of adoption can take place through private agencies. Private agencies allow a person to adopt and choose whether they are open or closed. Open adoption occurs when the child can still see his or her birth parents. Closed adoption occurs when parents decide they do not want to see the children. In both cases of open and closed adoption, most of the time the child or children are newborns and from birth they go to the family, in some of these cases the parents are young and cannot afford to take care of the child so they choose to leave him he or she will be better off with people who can give him or her everything he or she will want or need. According to Sally Allphin in the academic journal article “President Clinton's Adoption 2002 initiative, which intends to double the number of children transitioning to adoption or legal guardianship between 1986 and 2002. Each year, states will receive four thousand or six thousand dollars for each adoption completed above expected baselines” (1). Attachment to adopted children is rare, but in rare cases children return to their parents or a relative chooses to care for them.
