Foster homes are the most common out-of-home placement for children who are not their own, where parents raise children temporarily until they can either be reunified with their birth families or adopted. Group homes and orphanages are typically used for children who do not have any available family members to care for them. Half-way houses are typically used for individuals transitioning out of prison or rehab.
