    No one here is going to take you in at your age - would your parents sign custody over to strangers? Who is going to support you, pay your bills and tuitions? The people who "foster" you in the US?

    Graduate from high school and either go to College in the UK and spend a semester or two in the US or TRY to get accepted to a US college.

    Your dream is very impractical from several standpoints.

    Your sarcasm is totally out of line and unnecessary. The bold type is also an unnecessary touch.

    I did try to support you. You are being unrealistic.

    I notice you didn't answer a single question - will your parents sign, who will pay your expenses.

    Ok, sorry. Yes, that's true but I haven't forgotten that question about the payments that but I don't like talk these things here, where everybody can see it. If you want, I can explain you more of all.
    And yes, that's true that it's an unrealistic, but it isn't impossible.

    How do you find it to be possible that total strangers will take you in and support you, be responsible for you legally, medically, financially, an ocean away from your home?

    And you might end up in a very bad place with a family that abuses you and/or turns you into a slave to do all the housework and refuses to allow you to go to school. You cannot "advertise" on the Internet and think you will end up making your dreams come true. The world is filled with very bad people. Like Judy said, go to a UK uni, do well there, and get into a program for overseas study as a foreign student or transfer to a US college for a year or so to find out if this country is everything you think it is. If that doesn't work out, once you are out of school, you can travel anywhere.

    When I say that I'm looking for a family foster, I want to say that I am looking for a family foster who I can to trust in them. And, obviously the payments would do my parents.

    Your poor English doesn't mean there's no need for you to answer questions.

    If your family intends to finance your adventure and sign custody of you over to strangers they must have the ability and means to hire someone to assist them in keeping you safe, placing you with a family that is safe and can be trusted.

    Your English is fine. Please answer our questions. I think you are being very unrealistic.

    There are programs throughout the world whereby families can join up, get acquainted online/by phone/by email/etc. and send their children to spend time with like-minded families in other countries for a short period, say, for a summer or for a school year. Have you investigated something like that? Schools have foreign exchange programs. Have you checked into something like that?

    I did not say anything about money.

    A girl your age advertising on the Internet will attract people with evil ideas. Your best bet (and safest) is to look for family or school programs where you live now. Have you done that?

    I see a big problem with attitude - I suspect this is going nowhere.

    YOU check in your country for family and foreign-exchange programs. You go to the library and ask a reference person about this and do research.
    Yes, I see that programs, but I believe that in a short time, I won't can learn the american english.
    Then WHY are you even asking us to help you??

    You go to another country to immerse yourself in the language and learn it better and faster than you can in school. If I wanted to perfect my German, I would fly to Germany and live there for maybe some months or even a year and speak only German.

    Wondergirl, thanks many people has said me the same thing. I think that I am going to do what you have said me.

    And when you say on the Internet will attract people with evil ideas, you're so RIGHT. I think in that, but I thought that I was the one that thought that.


    Hope you can understant me.
