[quote=Anonymous]It all depends. Some foster families may not financially be able to house and support foster kids without the stipend that ends at age 18. As noted above, the kid may want to leave. And yes, a foster family may just be "done" with a kid who is exhibiting extreme behavior/attitude issues. People who come from stable home environments with loving families cannot fathom the realities that many foster kids (and foster families) experience, and there is very little that a foster family---no matter how loving---can do for an uncooperative 18 yo. who does not have a secure familial attachment history. Love does NOT fix everything. [/quote]
