Hi there,
Thank you for reaching out to us at the National Runaway Safeline. We are here 24/7 to listen and to support.
We are not legal experts, but generally speaking because you are 18 and considered a legal adult, you would not be considered a runaway. Being in foster care could change that fact. Do you have a case worker or someone you could turn to to ask these types of questions? If not, another thing you could do would be to call out to your local police and inquire anonymously about your rights within your situation. If you need help finding your local non-emergency number or want to talk through other possible options, don't hesitate to give us a call at 1-800-786-2929. Let us know how we can best help.
Best,
NRS
