Let me start off by saying that I'm very sorry about this whole thing. It's not right that your mom would just abandon you like this. Living in a foster home isnt as easy as it seems. It will be hard for you, but it might be a better place then where you are staying at right now. If you know and get along with most of the kids there, I would suggest going there. ]
I'm sorry that your mom is abandoning you, for that purpose and that purpose only foster care may be better for you then what you presently have.
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.
Once again I'm sorry your mother feels the need to abandon you, you will probably be better off in foster care. ]
