[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why would you adopt? You can let the kid keep the foster care status. That is a gift from the heavens when it comes to fafsa and financial aid for college.[/quote] Right so many kids in foster care are going to college. Most are kicked out of the program on their 18th birthday. [/quote] Yes they are kicked out of the state program, but if they have no parents they will get full financial aid at basically any college. If a middle class parent adopts them they will get no or little aid—and presumably the adoptive parent hasn’t been saving up for 18 years like a birth parent might. [/quote]
