Foster Care System

Foster parents are needed

In Tokyo, due to various circumstances, about 4,000 children live in child welfare institutions, infant homes, foster families, and other settings.
We are recruiting foster parents so that children can spend time in a warm family environment.

• The criteria for becoming a foster parent include being motivated by the best interests of the child, not being in financial distress, and having a suitable home and living environment.
• The placement period varies from a few days to long-term stays.
• There are types such as "adoptive foster parents" who enter into special adoption agreements, and "care foster parents" who do not.
• During the placement period with "care foster parents," child-rearing expenses are paid.

Briefing Sessions and Outreach Lectures

Tama Fostering Organization, which is in charge of the foster parent system, accepts consultations and regularly holds briefing sessions.
Anyone who wishes to become a foster parent, is interested in the system, or has participated before can join.

Additionally, Tama Fostering Organization offers outreach lectures for companies, schools, and local groups based in Inagi City.
