Question

In their own words: challenges facing youth aging out of foster care

Answer 1

Answer:

it depends who you are asking. for me i would say scary at first but then you feel like this is your really family. i have been in care for 11 years now and i was scared at first because i didn't know my foster parents but then after 3 years, i learn't my birth parents couldn't look after me and the didn't understand what or how to treat cystic fibrosis. when i knew that, i asked if i could stay and it tuck 3 years for the social workers to say yes. so if you know someone who is in care, they will say different, as it effects different people in different ways.

hope this helps

Answer 2

Well I'm a foster kid, I'm 18 Lot of kids I've witnessed aging out are put int homeless shelters without their birth certificate and social security cards. I believe its not fair nor right. These kids need help also, They didn't do anything wrong to be thrown away like that. It bugs me that i could end up like that you know?
