Foster Care & Adoption Acronyms

When families first connect with foster care and adoption, they can be surprised to find that there are tons of acronyms. At PCHAS, we always try to be clear and explain acronyms when we use them. However, we can’t guarantee that others will do the same, and we want you to understand what they are talking about. We created this list for our foster and adoptive families and want to share it with you, as well.
