Hi Ethan. Not knowing anything about you, your post is hard to answer. How old are you? If you are in foster care, obviously your mother/father can't look after you. This could be temporary. Have you asked anyone why? Usually foster care is short term till you can be returned to mother/father. Maybe home life was violent, or m/d sick perhaps. I would say you have what's known as a 'case worker'. Ask her/him why you've been placed. There are many reasons why you've been taken from home. Don't be afraid to ask questions.
