Yes, a foster child can hire their own attorney, but it typically requires approval from the court or their guardian. Many foster children may not have the financial means to do so, as legal representation can be costly. In such cases, they may be eligible for free or low-cost legal services through legal aid organizations or public defenders. Additionally, in some jurisdictions, the court may appoint an attorney to represent the child's best interests.
