When a child in foster care turns 18, they typically age out of the foster care system and are no longer under the legal guardianship of the state. At this point, they have the right to make their own decisions regarding housing, education, and healthcare. Many states offer extended support services, such as transitional housing and educational assistance, to help these young adults navigate adulthood. However, the specific rights and resources available can vary significantly depending on state laws and policies.

Can one parent put their child in foster care?
Not as long as both parents have parental rights. If one parent gives up his parental rights which is required when putting a child in foster care, the other parent is the first one in line to take the child since she still have her parental rights. This assuming both are fit to parent. If the parents are not married and the father has not proved paternity in court and got his parental rights he should do so asap and then he has rights to the child. The social workers usually ask relatives first if they are interested in taking the child. There is a shortage fo foster families and staying with family is considered best for the child.
Can I take my son from the foster parents if they have power of attorney and the back of his head is flat?
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.
