According to media reports, Baby Ariah Shah’s two-year stay in Germany’s foster home is about to be completed in August. According to German law, if a child stays in a foster home for two years, the child cannot be returned to its parents. According to German law, the reason for this is that after leaving the foster home, the child is not able to face new circumstances and social injury. In such a situation, special arrangements are needed to handle it.
