Babies that are born with HIV, orphaned children whose parents have died, Afro American, Hispanic, Asian and Indian children. Children with genetic disorders. 

Then there are children who get placed because their parents are abusive, children whose parents are sick and the children need a temporary place to stay. If a parent or parents get arrested and the child doesn’t have any family. There are hundreds of scenarios of why a child ends up in foster care. No matter what the reason a child should always deserve a chance to be in a stable environment.
