Abstract: this article focuses on the importance of working with families who want to become foster parents and who have experienced the trauma of losing children and perinatal losses. It highlights the main factors from the point of view of modern approaches that affect the further education of a foster child in a substitute family. A new vision of the concept of the school of foster parents with families who have had a traumatic experience is presented. We believe that it is necessary to pay special attention to families facing perinatal losses and loss of blood children, as this topic is not covered at the social level in the necessary volume. A strong family institution is one of the most important tasks of our state. After all, it is the family that has the main task to continue the family, raise a new generation, pass on experience, values, and traditions. Couples who have experienced the trauma of loss in their union are in dire need of support for their loss, as well as for establishing psychoemotional contact within the family after the incident. And if a couple has lived through their experience, regained strength, resources, and made a decision about foster parenting – this is a great opportunity for children from orphanages to find new parents, accept belonging to a new indigenous system, and be a healthy part of society and family.
