What does a foster child have to do to get out of foster care?
Brandideese09
Getting pregnant will not make you emancipated, only a judge can do that and you have to be able to prove you can provide for yourself and a number of other things. The foster family might decide not to keep you which would put you somewhere else.

∙ 12y agoIt's usually very difficult to leave foster care before turning 18 unless someone comes forward interested in adoption. Legally the only way a 16 year old could leave the foster care system without adoption is to be emancipated. This means that they would be declared an adult before turning 18. The child would need a lawyer to file the motion and a judge would have to make this ruling. In most states the child would have to prove to the court that they are mature, capable of earning a living, and caring for themselves.
