The age of 'independent decision' is USUALLY determined by laws made by state, province, or whatever jurisdiction he/she lives in, usually it is the 'age of majority' or 'age of consent' at which age the child is considered old enough to make valid, safe choices for himself/herself.
Special application CAN be made to the courts for exemption under some circumstances.

When you've straightened up. Your child wouldn't be in foster care if you hadn't been an inept parent. Straighten up, and maybe you can get your child back.

if she is being adopted then she is their child for good.
if she is in foster care, then she is in the state's custody until 18.

18 IS WHEN A CHILD IS COSIDERED TO BE OF AGE HOWEVER IF SHE MEANING YOUR MOM GOES TO COURT TO ADOPT YOUR CHILD THE YOUR CHILD WOULD BE OLD ENOUGH TO DECIDE WITH WHOM SHE WANTS TO LIVE . BUT AGES VARY BY STATE. THATS HOW IT IS IN MO.
