i have been in foster care 4 times now and this 4th time i have been there for 2 1/2 years......
one thing you need toi do is let them kno that you are tryin your best to stay on your best behavior and that you are happy that you ar eactually getting settled in.
before i got put in the home im in i would move just about every week and i kno im happy to be settled in....
most social workers are a pain in the a** but we foster kids need to get over that and try to show them we are wanting to stay in one spot so we can make friends,,,,....
so another thing you can do is write a letter to your worker and tell her your feelings on bein moved......
if this doesnt work then write me back and i will try to give you some more advice............
well i wish you the best of luck

rkgurl13 answered Tuesday June 28 2005, 1:22 pm: well i do not think you can do any thing because unless your over 18 or what ever then you don't have a say in any thing.
hope you don't move form there

karenR answered Sunday June 26 2005, 7:10 pm: I think if you're okay with the family you are now with they should let you stay. Especially if you've had some bad experiences in the past. The government does hire some pretty big idiots at times though.
Maybe you could get with your foster parents and go over the social workers head. I don't know who that might be. You know, Dangernerd was in foster care in his youth, he may be of more help to you. If he doesn't respond to your question here, drop the question in his inbox. :) [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]
