Another reason a child could leave a foster home is to be placed in a kinship home. This is when a relative of the child comes forward to take in the child. Typically a home study and background checks must be done on the relatives before the child can be placed in their home.
Sometimes when a child is first placed in foster care there is not a foster home available to take an entire set of siblings. A child can be removed from a foster home to be placed with siblings in another foster home once one becomes available.
Disruptions in placements are sometimes because of behavioral issues. A child who has been abused, neglected and otherwise had an unstable life may have behavioral issues that are threatening or abusive to the other biological or foster children of the fostering family and even to the foster parents. The child's behaviors may be so extreme that the child needs to be placed in a thearaputic foster home or group home.
Although it is often portrayed in the media that foster families are abusive, it is not typical for a child to be removed because of abuse by foster parents. Children who are in foster care often have a variety of attachment and oppositional behaviors leading to false accusations. Even though it is rare, it does happen occasionally.
Sometimes uncontrollable circumstances prevent a family from continuing to foster, such as an accident or health problems, and must have the child removed from their home. There are times when a foster child is not able to "fit in" with a foster family and requests to be moved to a different home.
When a child is deterimined to have Native American heritage, a child may be moved to foster home that is recognized by the child's affiliated tribe.
When the goal of reunification is no longer percieved as attainable, the child can be transitioned to a preadoptive home when the foster parents are not willing or able to adopt the child.
When a child reaches a certain age (it varies by state) the child can become emancipated and establish their own independent living arrangements. Some children also run away from their foster homes.
Children can also be moved to another foster home if the agency or state who has custody of the child determines that a foster family is disruptive to the goal of reunification. A child can be removed from a foster family that does not maintain the licensing requirements for the agency in which they are fostering.
A Good Foster carer will know the benefits of discipline, structure and boundaries, a typical child in foster care does not understand any of these concepts and is used to punishment without reward, parents who give in rather than stick to principles and come and go as they please. Disruption can take place when the child cant take what is good for them and the carer cant enforce it.

The biological parent is always favored unless there are very good reasons to the contrary. You should consult with an attorney. Children are not property and a person cannot "leave" their children by a will. The court does not have to follow a request made in a will as to guardianship. The biological parent can request custody.

Foster parents, are people, other than a kid's parents, who give a kid a safe place to live and grow. Foster parents take kids into their homes and take care of them for as long as kids need. Together, they become a foster family.

If you spend the money on the children in foster care, there is no income. It is meant to be spent like child support...... on the kids. If you get into foster care for the money then you are doing it for all the wrong reasons.
It depends sometimes they go back to the parents. Other times they may go live with other relatives also children that leave foster care are often placed in group homes. If the child leaves because they have became the legal age of 18 many times they may go live with friends or in shelters or rent a place of thier own. The sad reality is though that many that are forced to leave because they have became of legal age end up on the streets.
Yes, Jodie Foster has 2 kids.
There are 78,000 Canadian children in foster care of which 30,000 of them are from parents whose rights have been terminated by the courts and therefore these children will spend their childhood and youth until age 18 in foster facilities.
Lots of reasons It's a tough job for the foster parents; kids that come in sometimes have a big load of baggage with them. You get 6 year olds who have enough sexual experience to make the foster parents blush. You've got kids that have a hard time trusting because of all of the broken promises. You have kids who have learned to steal and lie to survive. You have kids who have never seen a functional family and don't know how to react once they start seeing one. It's next to impossible to get solid information about what the kids have gone through. On the flip side, some foster parents are no better (or even worse) than the bad homes that the kids have left. Some of them abuse (physically, emotionally, sexually) the kids in their care. Some of them are in it for the money, and deliberately shortchange the kids to make more money.
So that no children will be on the street or they wont be treated wrong with their parents. The government needs to have foster care to help these kids with broken homes have a better lifestyle and help them be productive members of society.
