How do you put a child into the foster care system?

Question

how do you put a child into the foster care system??

my mom might put me into foster care and she was wondering how you put a child into foster care?

does she just take me to foster care building, call a foster care number, or what??

i'm sorry, i don't understand this very much and how it works.

also if anyone knows any foster care numbers for questions on foster care in general [in the state of georgia would help] then could you please let me know them or send me a link.

Answer 1

call CPS

Answer 2

wish i knew, sorry...

try the phonebook. i'm not sure how all that works either. how old are u?what part of Ga(i live there too) and why are u just helping with being placed in foster care?? it's no fun at all.

Answer 3

Wow, is their a reason you are so willing to be put into foster care? I will search for some numbers, and edit.

I know where I live, for a child to be put into foster care the parents have to give over all rights, and the child has to be underage(of course!), then the agents will come and get you and take you to a home, until they find a foster family.

Thats all I could find. The first one has numbers, and the other two have some information about foster care.

Hope this helps!

Answer 4

your helping your mom get rid of you?

This is crazy.

I cant help you any because I know nothing about it, but this just kind of shocked me.

Answer 5

She should just call Georgia's CPS.  They'll get her in touch with the people she needs to talk to.

Why are you so casually helping your mother put you into foster care?  Very strange.
