Being put in foster care may not be as easy as you mother may think. Child services, which run the foster care program, are first going to try and place you with a relative regardless of where that relative may be. Is there an Aunt, Uncle or Grandparent you would prefer to live with. If so be prepared to tell the social worker where to find them or how to contact them. Of course if you father is a live and you know where he is social services would want to contact him first.
Foster care can be very good with the right foster parents. Make sure you know how to contact your social worker. Make sure you know what is expected of you and your foster parents. Live up to what is expected of you. Many children have grown up in foster care and gone on to lead very successful lives. Like everything else in life you will get out of foster car what you put into it.
