AboutRoberta Rosenberg Expertise International Adoption - I am an active member of the adoption community. I have 3 children, 2 adopted from Korea. I can answer all questions about Korean adoption, most questions on international. What I do not know I can easily find out.
(PLEASE NOTE: I cannot answer any questions involving immigration/family adoption legal issues. These matters of local/state/federal law should be discussed with a qualified attorney.)
Experience Beyond my own personal experience as an adoptive parent, I'm also the developer of several websites related to adoption. Adopting from Korea (www.adoptkorea.com) and AdoptShoppe (www.adoptshoppe.com) are just two of my current sites.
Question How can i get my little sister out of foster care?...She is seven years old i haven't seen her since she was two,What are the requirements?
Answer Hi, thanks for writing. Your question doesn't provide enough background material for me to comment beyond "get an attorney" with experience in social services and family law in your county. (Foster care matters fall under a county's jurisdiction, not state.)
If you're under 18, you're not of legal age to be a guardian. If you're older than 18, you'd have to show that you can support your sister financially.
In either case, you'll still want the counsel of a good lawyer to assist you. You might want to check with the organization CASA in your community. They should be able to point you in the right direction.
