What you do have is two amazing person 's who are your foster parents. Yeah they…
ready to exit the foster care system at age 18, I have observed one of two reactions during my professional experience: the now adult, is so tired of being in the system and being bounced around that they just want to be on their own, or, the child is aware that the do not have anywhere else to go, don’t know how to maneuver on their own and utilize the AB 490 law to remain in care until they are 21.
