Hello,
I am wondering if anyone knows if there is a foster system in the DR, and where I could find more information about it. I looked on the CONANI website and learned about adoption, but I didn't see anything about foster care (nor do I know the term for "foster care" in Spanish--anyone?)
I am planning to move to the DR soon. My ultimate goal would be to adopt at least one Dominican child. But I was also curious if foster care (and then applying for adoption) is an option like it is in the United States. Also, if there IS a foster care system, are the foster parents given some kind of stipend to help care for the child? Even though I doubt that, I figure it is worth asking.
Thank you,
Marie
