MPs propose measures to address foster care crisis in Norway
Four MPs have introduced a proposal to tackle the foster care shortage. They point out that 336 children were waiting for foster placements at the end of December 2025, and that the 2025 Foster Home Study shows many foster parents lack sufficient support and oversight. The proposal calls on the government to make structural changes that would boost foster home recruitment, improve conditions for foster parents, and speed up placements for children.
