When I turned 18, they sent me back to my mother, nobody asked me what I wanted. Life was better with foster family, that was for sure, but on other hand, we moved to a shithole with them, we had a big house with swimming pool in basement, but it was a shithole, while my mom lived in Prague (capital city of my country Czechia), so I was not sure what I want, on one hand you had nice rich house in a shithole where you walk 2 km to train station and on other hand you could live in shits with your mom, but in Prague where you want to be. But I definitely felt like I don't fit into social bubble of my foster family, they were higher class, I liked them, but it felt like I am not supposed to be there, their living habits were often annoying to me, like going everywhere by car and spending time in traffic jams, especially in Prague where it was super annoying. We lived in Prague with foster family for short time before we moved out and when we were going somewhere in Prague by car, my sister were like "I will go by metro and I will wait there for you" which was even my feeling about it. Or "walking" dog by car and stuff like that. These upper class people have car for moving and then sport activities in weekends and it's strictly disconnected from each other, which is exact opposite of how I live now.
The way I understand it, the foster family can host if they don't have other minors in the home. If they do, the teen must undergo training to become a foster parent, or at least background checks, etc and that takes time.
@@saraschneider6781 that I didn't know there should be some kind of program to help young adults my Lil brother became an orphan 3 months after turning 18 because our dad died his mother died when he was 14. If there been some sort of program that could have helped him maybe he wouldn't be in the condition he has now almost 10 years later
I’m currently collecting donations for a program that helps aged out foster youth, foster care, special needs school, etc ❤

Yeah that must have been challenging between 2 different cultures/lifestyles.
I’m sorry nobody asked you what you wanted :/
Thanks for your comment :)
So they are forced to leave the foster family? They can't be the host?

The current foster family can choose to be the host family :) but that doesn’t always work out
this obviously isnt in every state the woman from be the village took on their former foster daughters and she got no assistance for her
Because she was not a part of collaborative care. She had already moved back to her bio family.
