The aim of this study focuses on the introduction of the points at issue made by the analysis on the true state of foster home care service toward foster mothers taking home care by the foster home care center, especially in Ulsan area, among all the centers established at sixteen provinces and megalopolitan cities in the whole country at the year of 2003, and on the presentation of the method for the better development of the foster home care service so that care-needed children can grow in a better health and care by family interest, for they are driven out miserably into the poor caring facilities or boys and girls make their living only on their own because of the lack of interest and good systems for them. And also this study has been done by both philological and positive study together. It especially, has been a research in the point of the solutions which should be gotten and can be helpful of the promoting method for the foster home care service in the country, by philological study with various statistical data and several analytic materials, which have been researched and carried in many kinds of materials, such as scientific works, periodicals, academic treatises on foster home care at home and abroad. In this study, two kinds of surveys, the preliminary and the real, have been made for eighty-four foster mothers of eighty-four families ranging from normal families, relatives and proxy trust families in all of Ulsan area, which are now practising the foster care in the help of a foster care supporting center of the area in the aim of the development for the work from the twelfth of March to the twelfth of May in the year of 2005. The question papers have been sent and collected by mail and visit from trust mothers under the agreement of the foster care centers after the explanation ,full and detailed, about it. And in addition, the content of the study has been a little changed and complemented much because of the problems and the opinions from the result through the preliminary survey done optionally choosing two families each in normal families, relatives and proxy-trust families differently from the twelfth to the twenty-first of March, in order to find out the adequacy and the understanding of the questions, in advance. The analysis of these materials was made by the use of the statistical program of SPSS for Window 12.O. Frequence and Multiple Answer Analysis were those of all the articles in the questions. The experience through foster care and the verification on the level among the changing causes of the frequent range were practised by using Chi-Square (X² ) verifying method. The result showed by this study is as follows: Firstly, the motives requiring foster care are divided, in general, into three. ① because of the kinship with children ② because of the impossibility of foster care ③ because of the intention to become volunteers for the work Secondly, the economical help is needed because of the lack of the caring expense. Thirdly, the most important period for long foster care should be less than one year or two. Fourthly, the desires for the regular education are increasing more and more. Therefore, the method for the development of foster home care service may be suggested on the basis of the result of this study, as given below: First, the necessity for the public information should be kept on being strengthened through the mass-communication. Second, the realization of the expense for the foster home care should be satisfactorily performed well enough to take good care with the financial help from the authorities and other groups. Third, the proper education not only for the growth at infant, childhood and youth but also for the parents should be given together in the special program. Fourth, the protection and the management for trust mothers now taking sincere charge of foster home care, should be provided completely. Fifth, the actual supporting system from the outside ,thoroughly, should be established, which can overcome the difficulties for trust mothers to suffer from, by planning the exact systems in performing now foster care and by adapting them to the systems.
