Foster Care

The judge who issued the order for the minor to be placed in foster care is the person who would have to give permission for the minor to marry, and that is not likely to happen.

They could, but they are violating state law and could be arrested for rape.

Hold on! Yes you can sleep in the same bed but if you are referring to sex, absolutely not. That would be incest and stautory rape. The parent would go to prison.

No as that would be considered child abandonment.

a child gets into foster care program by living in a bad environment which is basically being mistreated at home by yours parents or maybe your siblings or possibly someone else in their family.

Foster children are generally placed through the state they reside in. Foster parents are certified through the state. So, no, unless there is a court ruling allowing the move, it is not legal to move to another state with a foster child.

Sexual abuse, violence, negligence, starvation, abandonment.

Some children go into foster care when a loving parent is temporarily unable to care for the child due to illness, homelessness or job loss - when no other family member is able to take over.

Occasionally a parent is just not able to provide appropriate care for a child, this too can lead to foster care.

They don't. A minor is placed in foster care by court order and the judge that issued the order has to rescind or amend the it before the person can leave the foster home. This applies even when a minor reaches the state's legal age of majority. All court orders pertaining to custodial matters related to a minor child supercede established laws.

Not if you are under 18. Just like your parents had custody of you the state now have custody of you. So when you needed parental consent you now need the state's consent for moving before 18 for instance.

There are many conditions known as mental illness such as Tourette's and learning disorders so it depends on what it is and how the person is handling it. Some are crippling and others are not. Some are easily handled with medication and others are not. So it's a yes and no on that one.

Yes, if you are a girl marrying an 18 or older (I don't know about the other way around), but be very careful that you do not marry for that reason only. This may sound old-fashioned and fairy-tale like, but it is true. Find your soulmate. My parents found each other after years of a painful relationship. After their spouses died, they did find each other and are very happy. They have been married 3 yrs now and still act like newlyweds (which can be embaressing sometimes (lol)) They relied on God to get them through. if you want me to go into more detail, ask on my message board : Seems a desperate measure to take to end a situation. Surely you could talk over any problems with your social worker and get independent living if you really want out of where you are.

Foster care is a situation where children are treated and cared for as a member of a family but they are legally a ward of the state and may retain a connection with their birth parents. Adoption means that you take on the name of and become a legal child to the people that have adopted you.

it depends on the state to. i am in it and i am 17. my parents get $275 twice a month.

It depends on their age, if a child is:

0-4 years old; $395 a fortnight

5-13 years old;$443 a fortnight

14-17 years old; $595 a fortnight.

If the child has special needs, the carer would receive more.

There are approximately 2,600 children in foster care at any time.

Yes, but it requires a court order authorizing the travel; it's up to the case worker and judge to allow it or not.

The foster parent's for the children that I'm adopting have taken many of their foster kids on vacations: especially on cruises (even ones that visit foreign countries). According to them, it's important to have the case worker to be aware of your travel and ready to answer the phone if needed, and you'll need a stack of paperwork to be able to prove that beyond a shadow of a doubt that you are the legal guardian of those children.

While I can't speak from experience: I'd say adoption. You don't stop needing a family just because you turn 18.

If the faucet is leaking water everywhere... it's nice to be able to call up dad and see what the heck to do about it.

On holidays, it's good to get together with your family, even if you're in your 20s or 30s (or even older).

The court does not allow a 14yo to live on their own. 16 is the earliest you can try to get emancipated by the court and then you have to be able to support yourself.

Yes, if it's an option in your state and you fill the criteria.

In the US, foster parent and adoption assistance are administered by the State, so the rules and payment rates differ.

The minor would be placed in Arkansas foster care until a relative is found in California. The relative would likely have to come to Arkansas. A court hearing would be held to either return you to California with a relative, or keep you in foster care in Arkansas. As a runaway, you'd likely be put in a strict environment.
