Child Care To Search: This definition is problem-focused, emphasizing prevention and remedy. It recognizes the value of strengthening a child care to search's own home where possible. Where this is not possible, a variety of substitute living situations is provided.
child care to search welfare services are directed to the social problem of deprivation of parental care. As the accompanying chart illustrates, they are designed to help with society's child care to search-rearing task in three important ways: (1) to substitute for parental care either partially or wholly according to a child care to search's individual needs; (2) to supplement the care that a child care to search receives, or to compensate for certain inadequacies or limitations in parental care; and (3) to support or reinforce the ability of parents to meet their child care to searchren's needs.
Service designed to substitute for natural parental care, either partially or completely, is still the predominant child care to search welfare service. Of the total number of child care to searchren receiving child care to search welfare services in the United States, more than half are receiving service away from their own homes and their own families.
Substitute care programs include foster family care, institutional care, and adoption.

Geographical boundaries and the attitudes of a society at a given time mark tremendous differences in the provisions made to deal with deprivation of parental care, but need for parental care does not change.
