If you are in any ANY sort of foster home or group home you may be a ward of the state, ask your caseworker, but just because you ARE in one of these does not necessarily mean you ARE a ward of the state .. the state has to go to court to show JUST CAUSE as to why you should not be your parents's ward, PLUS being a ward of the state does NOT take away your parents' parental rights the state has to go to court specifically to do that and if you are old enough to ask a question on Yahoo answers no judge in his or her right mind or leagally would ever make a decsion on that witout talking to YOU in camera (in person) in court, unless it has been proven that your parents are incorrigibe and beyond redemption. Most family court and child neglect court judges try very hard and ideally would like to keep families together and working towards reunification

Ok, first, I am not sure why you think you may have become a ward of the state. If you have, that means that you are probably not living with your parents. It also means that most likely you have a social worker or guidance counselor that you could talk to. If you do not, then speak with your guidance counselor at school. Tell them your concerns, and they will be able to help you. Good luck.

I was "awarded" to the state in 1968 (drafted), they did not take good care of me.
