Here are some reasons:
1) They're sent back to the bios. Then bioparents mess up again, and kid comes back into the system. If the previous foster parents don't have an open bed, the kid goes on to family #3.
2) The foster family that is chosen isn't a good match for the child's needs. The child has to be moved to a family that can address their emotional or physical needs.
3) The child is in a stable foster placement. The ASFA deadline is coming, though, and the child must be put in a "permanent" home. So they move the kid to a pre-adoptive family. Then the court orders reunification, so the kid goes back to birth mom. Then the birthmom messes up again, so the kid goes to foster family #3.
4) The foster parents get so frustrated with the system, they give up fostering. Kids move again.
5) Siblings are placed together. Then, because of their issues, they have to be split up. Or the reverse: kids are placed separately, everybody bonds in their new family, and then suddenly the CW decides to rip them all out so they can be sent to a placement together.
