My Aunt has guardianship over my son what rights do I have even though my son is in her care and also what rights do i have as being his mother?
A possible thesis statement on foster care youth could be: "The inconsistent support and resources available to foster care youth contribute to their challenges in transitioning into adulthood, leading to higher risks of homelessness, unemployment, and mental health issues."
Even if children are removed by social services in Massachusetts, the parents do not lose their rights to protect them. If the child becomes endangered in foster care the parents should discuss the case with the authorities and a lawyer.
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.
Yes, you have the same rights as anyone else when in foster care.
all of them
Foster care enables the state to remove children from poor living conditions. Most children in foster care are victims of physical abuse, emotional abuse, sexual abuse, neglect, etc. Placing a child in foster care gives the child a safe place to go until the parents either get the help they need to get their kids back or until the parents rights can be terminated and the kids adopted.
The money is to cover the expenses for the child but it's the foster parents that manage the money.
No this is up to the foster parents to decide.
If you aged out of foster care (weren't adopted) you would need to check with DCF about getting your foster care records.
Depends on the state laws and if you are in foster care it's not up to your parents to decide but the judge.
No. You do not have the right to take the child if he has been placed in foster care. A child who is in foster care is a ward of the state. That child is under the legal custody of the Department of Child Services by virtue of a court order. The department has placed the child with a certified foster parent. A foster parent partners with that department to provide stability, food, clothing, housing and nurturing to a child who can no longer live with his/her birth parents. The foster parent interacts with the child's school and sees to medical needs. There is always the hope that the child will be reunited with their parents some time in the future. During the foster care period the parents rights are suspended although they may have visitation rights. If you have questions or concerns about your child's health or physical condition you should speak with the social worker in charge of your case.
They aren't the same. Adoption is becoming the legal parent and foster care means the state is the childs guardian. The state makes all important decisions regarding the child and the foster parents have no rights, the state can just come in and move the child to another foster home for no reason. Adopted children are yours forever.
