English term or phrase: foster children
I have put as better option "enfants placés dans une famille d'accueil" but maybe you have any other options which are more precise because in english the meaning includes tha fact that a foster children is a children without blood links with the family.
Thank you in advance

enfants accueillis


Explanation:
I searched for it in the Web ref.: "foster child", anglais-français. (par terme). Définition : Mineur d'âge pris en charge et soigné par des parents autres que ses parents par le sang, qui est placé dans une famille d'accueil et non dans une institution.

enfants confiés à une ou des familles d'accueil


Explanation:
tout dépend du texte et contexte

http://www.social.gouv.fr/htm/actu/convention/5i.htm

on peut trouver à "confiés" une connotation moins "froidement administrative"...

tout dépend aussi du contexte :

placé ou confié dans une famille d'acceuil, c'est bien "vu de l'extérieur", des services sociaux, etc., mais du point de vue de l'enfant ou d'un psychologue, par exemple ? Enfant accueilli - réponse d'Oliver - me paraît très bien - court et moins froid que je suis un enfant placé ou un enfant confié.
