I think that is up to the social worker to decide. First they have to see what the reasons are you try to get rid of your child. I would be very careful with this since you might not be able to get them back and your relationship will clearly never be the same. We fight with out parents the most because we know they have our back and loves us unconditionally.
I'm afraid it really isn't up to the parent, but it definitely depends on the situation in which they were removed from you. If there is work YOU can do personally to improve the odds then do it. Each situation is personalized so I suggest you talk to the social worker you or your children are involved with.
Yes. If the police are called for domestic incident, or if the parents die or are being held by the police for any illegal activity, the children would go to child services and go to the first available foster care facility until a court date is scheduled.
For a child to be placed in foster care, both their parents must have either died or be estranged, the parents could have been neglectful and Child Services may have taken the child. Either of these could be reason for a child to be placed in foster care.
If you move out of state you might lost subsity for the children. It depends on where you live you have to ask a case worker.
In most states parents can give signed permission for grandparents to adopt the children. So, yes, parents can surrender their right to the children legally.
No. You do not have the right to take the child if he has been placed in foster care. A child who is in foster care is a ward of the state. That child is under the legal custody of the Department of Child Services by virtue of a court order. The department has placed the child with a certified foster parent. A foster parent partners with that department to provide stability, food, clothing, housing and nurturing to a child who can no longer live with his/her birth parents. The foster parent interacts with the child's school and sees to medical needs. There is always the hope that the child will be reunited with their parents some time in the future. During the foster care period the parents rights are suspended although they may have visitation rights. If you have questions or concerns about your child's health or physical condition you should speak with the social worker in charge of your case.
If there are no suitable foster families available or when the child is unruly so they wont fit into a family dynamic. You have to remember that foster families are often normal families with or without biological children at home but with foster children and the ones coming new have to fit in somehow so the family works.
Answer If you go through the Department of children and families, they help with the expenses. In Iowa I know all that you pay is time to register to be an adoptive parent by going to classes, background check, and home study. Then when a child or children are found and you think it is a match you wish to make permanent, they will help you adopt the child(s) what ever it takes. My suggestion for you being an adoptive parent, is to become a foster parent too. There is no extra classes, but in you at least get to have the child in the home to see if they are a fit for your family. We had about 20 foster children and we adopted the last 2 children that was placed in our home. There was a few we thought was a fit, and turned out to be just to much for our family.
Foster Care Placement DisruptionsFoster children can leave a foster home for a variety of reasons. Foster care is intended to be a temporary home for a child until that child can be placed in a permanent home. The goal for a child in foster care is usually to be reunited with family. A judge can order that a child be reunified with the biological parents once they have completed their court ordered case plan. Another reason a child could leave a foster home is to be placed in a kinship home. This is when a relative of the child comes forward to take in the child. Typically a home study and background checks must be done on the relatives before the child can be placed in their home.Sometimes when a child is first placed in foster care there is not a foster home available to take an entire set of siblings. A child can be removed from a foster home to be placed with siblings in another foster home once one becomes available.Disruptions in placements are sometimes because of behavioral issues. A child who has been abused, neglected and otherwise had an unstable life may have behavioral issues that are threatening or abusive to the other biological or foster children of the fostering family and even to the foster parents. The child's behaviors may be so extreme that the child needs to be placed in a thearaputic foster home or group home.Although it is often portrayed in the media that foster families are abusive, it is not typical for a child to be removed because of abuse by foster parents. Children who are in foster care often have a variety of attachment and oppositional behaviors leading to false accusations. Even though it is rare, it does happen occasionally.Sometimes uncontrollable circumstances prevent a family from continuing to foster, such as an accident or health problems, and must have the child removed from their home. There are times when a foster child is not able to "fit in" with a foster family and requests to be moved to a different home.When a child is deterimined to have Native American heritage, a child may be moved to foster home that is recognized by the child's affiliated tribe.When the goal of reunification is no longer percieved as attainable, the child can be transitioned to a preadoptive home when the foster parents are not willing or able to adopt the child.When a child reaches a certain age (it varies by state) the child can become emancipated and establish their own independent living arrangements. Some children also run away from their foster homes.Children can also be moved to another foster home if the agency or state who has custody of the child determines that a foster family is disruptive to the goal of reunification. A child can be removed from a foster family that does not maintain the licensing requirements for the agency in which they are fostering.A Good Foster carer will know the benefits of discipline, structure and boundaries, a typical child in foster care does not understand any of these concepts and is used to punishment without reward, parents who give in rather than stick to principles and come and go as they please. Disruption can take place when the child cant take what is good for them and the carer cant enforce it.
Yes, and is best to do in advance of the departure date, whether or not the other parent expresses an opinion. In far too many cases, the other parent will wait until the last minute, than file an injunction.
Foster children are generally placed through the state they reside in. Foster parents are certified through the state. So, no, unless there is a court ruling allowing the move, it is not legal to move to another state with a foster child.
Yes, if that teacher qualifies to be assigned as a foster parent (licensed by the state) or is awarded guardianship some way.
Without knowing any details...the state will not remove custodial rights from a parent/place a child in foster care just because the child is 'unhappy'. Discuss the situation in detail with your school counselor for advice.

they gone be placed in foster care
They will be returned to the parental home. Or they will be placed into a foster care facility until they turn 18.
their parents hate them
the noncustodial parent, or sometimes if there are other issues involved, you may be able to assign temporary custody to another relative. In either case, you should consult a family law attorney to avoid the kids being placed in foster care.
No, there's often some lag between when you get the children get placed with you and when you start getting a stipend/board rate. In some cases, the lag can be several weeks. As far as I'm aware though, they should back pay it. During my adoption/foster classes we talked about the need to be financially prepared to deal with having a child in the house for the short term.

Neither, the child in question would be placed in a foster home until either parent proves to be capable of raising a child.
No. If somebody abandoned their child, the child would then be taken usually into DHS's custody and usually placed in a foster home. When the child is older parents can try to contact the child.
