Social services!? i put my eldest daughter in voluntary foster care and my two youngest live with there dad.?
hi i need some advice if anyone knows about this sort of thing. i have 3 kids and i been having problems with my eldest daughter for years with her behaviour, big problems. i met my husband when my eldest was 1, i had her from a previous relationship and had the two younger children with my now ex husband. my eldest caused a great deal of strain on our relationship and was one of the reasons we split. when we split we agreed that he would have the two youngest live with him and i would have my eldest with me the main reason was she used to hit the two youngest and bully them amongst other problems. to cut a long story short my eldest caused me alot of stress she was bullying kids at school, stealing all sorts school was phoning me almost daily, i got her counselling still no improvement i ended up putting her in temporary voluntary foster care as i felt i could not deal with her behaviour and not give her the support etc needed. my ex would not allow me to see other kids when my eldest was with me because how she treats them. i was going through divorce it was a difficult time. anyway she is still in care and my two youngest are still with there dad what i want to know is can i have my youngest kids back to live with me as my ex is due to go in hospital for an operation next month and he is likely to take a few months to recover fully and he is happy for me to have the children come to live with me permanently. its not fair to keep moving them either. i want to know if they come back to live with me would social services be likely to get involved? or take them off me etc as i put my eldest in voluntary care last year? i am waiting for an appointment with my solicitor next wk for advice but i wondered if anyone knows where i stand in tbe mean time. thanks.
How can my mom get custody of my friend in foster care?
My best friend since fourth grade has always been in a bad home life. She was recently put in a girls home, her parents are planning on keeping her in there until they don't have custody of her anymore. Her case worker had told her that after 30 days in a girls home the parents loose custody. This date is coming up. My mom is by no means familiar with the PA foster care, or adoption laws. pleasee help?

How can i live with my dad after getting out of foster care?
i was in foster care from age 11 to age 18. i just barely got out a couple months ago when my aunt and uncle became my legal guardians, they no longer want me in their house and my life is miserable. i came to colorado with them from utah... my father still lives in utah, so i really want to go live with him. the deal between some of the people in the system was that i would finish highschool before i moved back with my dad or even moved out on my own. i am 18, do they STILL have a say? could my dad get into trouble if i continued highschool back in utah?
When you're under a section 20 and in foster care, who has parental responcibility?
I'm 16 and I've been in care before in the past and then returned home, but things weren't great, so I voluntary chose to go back into faster care, and now I have no contact with my family at all, which was my choice, but I've ben told that if I want to see them then my social worker has to be present.I'm currently in a foster home, but they say that they have no parental responsibility over me? which confuses me Because I don't see my parents, but there hasn't been a court order or anything, so are they still responsible for me, even though they have no idea of even where I am?
If you're in foster care, can you go to boarding school?
I'm in foster care at the moment, but the school that I want to go to in September is a boarding school. I know that it costs allot to go to boarding school, and my parents wouldn't pay for it, as I don't even have contact with them anymore, which is why I want to go, so that I can do well at a good school and make something of my life, and the school looks amazing If I asked my social worker, do you think they would pay the fees and allow me to go, as its boarding, they wouldn't have to pay for a foster placement for me if I was there, so technically, wouldn't it make much difference to them? Because all I would need would be rest bite care for the holidays. I don't really know how much a foster placement costs them, but surely boarding school can't be that much different?
I am 16 years old and my mom wants to put me in foster care?
I have just moved in with my mom 3 months ago for the first time since I was little. My mamaw had me since I was 6 until 3 months ago whenever we got in a huge fight and she kicked me out. Well now tht I have been living with my mom she doesn't let me do anything unless I clean the house which I do all the time and now she wants to talk to my old social worker and put me into a foster home or get me sent off because all we do is fight and we can't get along. I want to move in with my friend or move out on my own so I don't have to be in a foster home and so I don't have to be in a group home until I'm 18. Ill be 17 in a week and I wish there was something I could do

Im being taken into foster care?
im being taken into foster care because my mum cant cope with me im out of control apparantly... im scared im 14, never been in care before... what will it be like? and can you bring your phone etc with you?
Any way I can enter foster care?
Okay so I wrote my court everything about why they should put me in foster care adoption or anyone else than my mother. There's too much info to type but she's not abusive...I don't have a life other than her controlling it... So I'm just wondering if you think they'll actually go through with it? My bestir Hilary did it and she was in foster care but now is with her grandma. She wrote a letter saying she doesn't wanna live with her dad and her moms dead and they actually let her out of her dads control I'm hopin that'll happen to me. Her moms dead btw. My moms alive but my dad is a mystery. He lied about everything and ran off. Never met him. So do you think they'll let me go? Don't say mean things because ik how I feel about this... I'm suffocating and she's trapping me away from the world.
Should i ask to go into foster care for a while?
ok so i'd like to first point out that i'm not doing this for attention at all but i feel like i'm at the end of my line. i'm 14 years old i live in the uk and am having some problems with going to school. i have been picked on a bit but i dont think that is the main issue. there's a large history of mental health issues in my family so it's quite likely a form of depression if you don't want to read all of it skip to the last bit and i'd be so grateful for your answers. so i've always had low self esteem since i can remember. i've always been overweight and it's always bothered me but being the person i am i never told anyone this. when i was 6 my mum became ill with pancreatitis. so me and my older brother and sister were placed into foster care because my dad died when i was a baby. i was in foster care for nearly 5 years but in the whole time i never told anyone i was in foster care. there is one thing that i have never told anyone about that happened during care and that was i think the foster parents might have been slightly abusive towards me. i know lots of people say this for attention or because they hated them but i really think they hated me. they always seemed to treat me differently to my brother and sister. when i was 8 i wet the bed for a few months i would try to wake up before they would so i could change into dry clothes but i never could. they would usually shout at me. during my bed wetting faze i turned nine and while my mum was still in intensive care she could only give me a teddy bear but it meant more to me than anything and everyone knew that. after one night i wet the bed the foster woman took my teddy bear and threw it in the bin. i've never seen it since.when i moved into secondary school i got a complete scholarship to a private school i was sponsored by charities so if i did well they would be paid by the school and if i didnt i would be made to leave . i was there for 2 years and got a lot more confident and became a healthy weight however one of the charities lost all of it's money and they had to retract my scholarship so i had to leave the school. after that i lost all my confidence and gained some weight i'd only been going to the new school for a week but i couldn't bring myself to go. i got stomache just thinking about going to school. my mum took me to hospital and i had to have an operation. after the summer holidays i only managed a week before i couldn't do anymore. i had more stomaches and headaches. most of them were an exaggeration of the pain but i did have the headaches and stomaches. its been about 6 months and i'm supposed to being going to camhs a place where kids and teenagers go if they need help google the site and there'll be more info if you want . i'm finding it so hard being with my family as i feel like a total disapointment. i feel like whatever they do at camhs it'll be even harder if i have to be around with my family. i've considered runing away but i want to give my life one mre chance. i've thought of suicide but that's how my dad died so i'm rying to put that as far behind me as i can. so would it be easier for me to get better if i asked to be placed in a foster home for a weeks while i try to get better? or could it make it worse once i have to go back home? ad i dont get homesick as i went to a boarding school for 2 years so yeah that's about it.
Dhs foster care custody help?
My husbands nieces have been in dhs care for the last 2 years, we just recently found out about it and have been trying to get custody of them, they have been with the same foster parent for the entire time they have been in care, but DHS has said that they have to place with kin, but since the girls have been with their current placement for so long she has the right to file a motion to stop the move and go to court to have a judge decide the fate of the girls. They are 5 and 6 and have seemed happy with coming over for their weekend visits. At first the foster mom told us that she was not going to appeal the move and now she is. We didn't know the girls prior to finding out 3 months ago that they were in care, and they are naturally having some issues with not wanting to move from where they are now. Anyone have any ideas as to what chances of us actually might be of going to court and being awarded custody. And how you would go about trying to find a good custody lawyer.we are in oklahoma.
