Ten years ago, to help children that have been unable to receive proper parental care because their families have suffered special problems or misfortunes, the R.O.C. Children's Welfare Foundation studied examples overseas and introduced to Taiwan the foster care system, in which families volunteer to take in foster children on a temporary basis.
十年前，中華兒童福利基金會為了協助家庭發生問題或變故，而無法得到父母妥善照顧的兒童，參考國外經驗，引進了寄養制度，由自願收容寄養兒童的家庭，暫代養育之責。
