    They are totally different. Bankruptcy is a legal safe haven to protect you from debt. Depending on the type of bankruptcy you may need to work out a liquidation of assets to at least partially pay debt.

    A foreclosure is simply the recovery of property when you default on a loan where the property was used as collateral.

    Both have adverse affects on your credit.
