Typically at least the age of majority in your state, unless there are extreme circumstances that show you capable of caring for them before that time. Regardless of age you would have to show that you meet the same standards that must be met by any other foster parent and are able to provide for the needs of the child. The best resource for information would be your siblings caseworker.
There is no specific age to go into foster care, any child, infant, teenager, etc. could.
18 unless a judge emancipates you which means you have to have a way to support yourself.
You have to be 18 and show the court you can support yourself and the child.
You have to be at least 21 years old.
21
any!!
In order to leave foster care before you are of legal age you will need the courts consent and 17 is not legal age to move out without consent in any of the US states.
No, he didn't care about the age of a child.
It's reliant on circumstances and not age.
When you turn adult age you can do what you want but prior to that you can't just leave foster care. It's not up to you but the judge. You can leave foster care early by being asked to be emancipated. I wouldn't recommend it giving how much the state helps out fosters.
Below the age of majority in the state, usually 18. There is no minimum age.
Until they are age of majority in their state, usually 18. The law is the same as for biological children.
There are 78,000 Canadian children in foster care of which 30,000 of them are from parents whose rights have been terminated by the courts and therefore these children will spend their childhood and youth until age 18 in foster facilities.
Payment for up to age 2 is $652. Age 9 is $652 and up to age 16 is $652. Children in foster care spend an average of two years in each placement.
There is no limit to what age you have to be. You could be five and do a show for all i care!
18
Get emancipated if it is allowed in your state.
