Children left looking for love
Growing numbers of children are being left without a stable home life because of a lack of foster parents.Last year, 935 children were placed with foster families but Social Welfare Department officials say a significant number of youngsters remain in care.
Of the 2009 total, 13.5 percent were taken from their natural families because of child abuse.
Jimmy Ng Tze-ming, officer-in-charge of the Central Foster Care Unit, says there is rising demand, but he can neither explain why nor give figures for the number of children missing out.
Foster parents need to be at least 25 years old and able to provide a stable and safe environment.
One parent should be a full-time carer and be ready to accept investigation and guidance by social workers.
Under ordinary foster care, parents are eligible for at least six months, while emergency foster care allows not more than six weeks. Foster parents receive a subsidy of HK$4,513 a month for ordinary care and HK$6,021 per month for each emergency foster child.
