Foster care....?????

Question

i know this all depends but;

1.)how long where you in foster care?

2.)how long did you stay in a group home(s)?

3.)When you where in a foster home where there usually other foster kids and biological kids of the foster parents staying in the house as well?

4.)how far in your state where you moved from house to house?

5.)What are some [any] experiences you had in foster care?

6.) where you ever adopted? [if you where up for adoption]

7.) if you did age out of the system, how old where you when you left?

i know that all of these things vary, but if you could give me some examples of what you, your friends, family, or etc... expeirenced in foster care that would be great.

thanks for the help!

Answer 2

There is no average rhyme or reason.  Some kids stay their hole lives others a few years.   In my state they try to keep you in the same school district but it depends on homes and or group homes.  YOu can be moved anywhere there is an open bed even to another city.  Teens very rarely get adopted because of the precieved problems they bring.   They often age out in my state they try to give you transition like two more years in a group home type place but geared towards independce.

I hated foster care, it was the worst. i got to get know a lot of people that were nice and not so nice.(7 diff foster homes)  I didn't get a long with one of the parents...and it was h**l. I missed my dad a lot. One of my friend's that was in foster care...well she was happy to be in foster care and felt safe because she really wasn't safe at home. I also had to get up at 5:30 in the morning, leave the house by 6:20 because my school was 45 mins away and after school i had to go this program from 3 to 5 and got "home" around 6. i was so tired...it was too much for me...but i wanted to stay at the same school.

Answer 4

i have never been in foster care BUT my family does alot of the kids have been abused and or were abused by there familys sometimes foster kids can stay up to a weekend up to the point were there 18. they come and stay with us at any age, sometimes they go home or to other family members or they never go home at all and stay in foster care untill thier 18. alot of the problems come from the boy foster kids, alot of them have anger or suicidal issues. im 15 and alot of the boys will "hit" on you and its kinda scary cuz they hit on you and sometimes your parents dont believe you and they continue to let them stay and it  can get really scary.
