In Québec, placement measures for children whose security or development is compromised are put in place to promote a safe and secure living environment. The « Banque mixte » program has a two-fold aim : the child’s permanent and stable life project and the parents’ project of starting a family through adoption (Goubau et Ouellette, 2005 ; Ouellette et Goubau, 2009). This article documents the point of view of foster care parents who have adopted a child through the « Banque mixte » program about the services they have received from this program. Recommendations are then identified to better assist and help the foster families enrolled in the program.
