AMMAN — The Ministry of Social Development will integrate more than 100 children in foster families by the end of 2015, Ministry Spokesperson Fawaz Ratrout said Sunday.

A recent ministry study covering 58 foster care children showed that 56 of them have continued with their foster families, Ratrout said, adding that applying this system would reduce the number of care centre residents standing at around 900 children.
