Fostership

/ˈfɔstərʃɪp/ noun

Definition

The relationship, role, or status of a foster parent and child; the condition of being a foster family.

Etymology

From foster plus the suffix -ship, denoting a relationship or status. Parallels terms like 'partnership' and 'kinship.'

Kelly Says

Foster-ship in animal conservation is fascinating—some animals have 'foster parents' of different species, and these cross-species bonds reveal how deeply family feeling runs!
