A foster childâs return home is generally a planned activity, allowing the foster parent the opportunity to participate in the planning and to say good-bye to the foster child.

Anti-HBs: Antibody to hepatitis B surface antigen is a marker of immunity. Its presence indicates an immune response to HBV infection, an immune response to vaccination, or the presence of passively acquired antibody.
If the âHBsAgâ was positive, this means that you are either chronically infected with hepatitis B or were recently infected. If only the âanti-HBcâ was positive, it is most likely that you either had a âfalse-positiveâ test or are immune to hepatitis B infection (had hepatitis B infec-tion sometime in the past). It is important that you understand the full meaning of your test results.
