What can I do to get emancipated from my foster mother?
Ok. 12 years ago I was adopted. And 3 years ago we got 5 more little kids. I hate it. I want to go back with my real mom dodie but I dont think my adopted mom joyce will let me. Can she keep me from moving out or can I bring her to court an say I dont want to live here any more. I so want to get out of here. I will be 15 on july 7th 2010. She says I have to wait till im 18 but I cant wait that long. I might end up hurting someone or myself. I have cut and burned myself. Carved things into my hands. On on 2-5-10 I carved a heart into the side of my hand. I get abused here. Emotionally, verbally, physically, and mentally. I dont want to get the police involved. I just want to go back home.
There is a reason why you have been adopted and you werent eith your mom in the first place. I think that this is exagerating a little bit because I think things are much better.
But unfortuanally there is no way you can be an adult just yet you have to be 18 your step mom has costody of you.
And when there is adopted kids in a household ussually there are sotial workers checking in and seeing what is going on if it is really bad there you can let them know.
First of all you need to learn what emancipation means. It means that you would have the same rights and responsibilities as an adult. It does not mean your ‘real’ mother would have custody. They’re not going to grant an emancipation to a teenager who is clearly incapable of caring for herself.
Your biological mother would have to petition the court for custody. In order for that to have a chance at succeeding, DCF would have to declare your adopted mother an unfit parent. Which means the authorities have to get involved.
I dont know much about how to get emancipated, but I encourage you to try to stop abusing yourself and seek other ways of dealing with your frustration. Confide in a trusted adult, speak to your couselor at school, do something to stop this. Also, try to be open minded about this situation and pursue peace in it. If there is absolutely no way and you cant stand it anymore, then fine but at least try. It isnt healthy to ignore this, do whatever it takes and consiter your options wisely.
You shouldnt be on this website if your 12 :)
