The process would take a long time (6mo). The only other possibility is that both of my parents give up their parental rights, my dad I could convince, but my mom is unlikely. There is a problem. I live with my sister, I am currently unhappy. We usually argue non-stop, but latly its been better. The only thing is, I am not part of their "family" I am just the one that moved in. It's kind of like a flop house, I don't feel loved or cared for. I just feel like its a place for me to sleep & eat. When I moved in I barly even knew my sister, we had never lived together before and it was kind of like a game of chance for both of us. I have lived there now for a little over a year, and I have gotten to know her alot better. I have to say that I truly respect her for taking me in and I love her as a sister but I we really arent compatable for living w/ one another. EX: The other day they all sat down to eat dinner and I came to sit at the table and eat with them and she said that there isn't

enough room for me there. It is a 4 person table and there is plenty of room. Ever since then I get called down after dinner, and I eat my food once every ones done. Just so you know, the "family" consists of my sister, her husband, and my neice.
Also, when I am home, I am either on the computer, or up in my room the whole time. I feel like I can't even go and watch TV with them.

I don't know how old you are but if you are a foster child then you have all sorts of authorities coming in and out of your life. Get ahold of your case worker, you would reconize her/him as the person that comes and asks you how you are doing. Tell your case worker how you feel and see what can be done. You are a foster child because your parents either didn't want the responsibiltity or were found unfit at the time. Most places like to put the children back with their biological parents not with friends. If they cannot do that then the foster parent will have the oppurtunity to adopt you. If they would rather not, you would be placed up for adoption. If your friend's parents wanted to adopt you they would have the same chance as everyone else. Remember that adoption is very stressful and very expensive. Perhaps looking into getting emancipated would be a better decision, depending on your age.

try talking to your sister and telling her how youfeel.She might want you to be more apart of the family, but doesnt know how to mention it without causing a huge fight...
Also ask her to sign you over to your friend's mom, but remember, you'll have problems adjusting there as well.

Thats really sad. I dont know what you should do in this case, but one thing you should promise yourself is that if you have kids yourself you will NEVER let this sort of skewed dynamic develop.

The try talking to your case worker see what they can do for you, or talk to police they could probably help too. good luck!
