[QUOTE="dstc_99, post: 636067, member: 15473"] Part 1-If she is 16 and couch surfing with the old foster family then she is technically a run away. Contact the police or take the steps to make her a foster legally. Should something happen to her you could be held responsible for endangering the safety of a minor by not raising her. Part 2-While I realize your child may face additional guff because she is gay I can tell you that I wouldn't worry about it. Most of the drama in the relationship will be something she would have to deal with regardless of sexual orientation. The extra stuff....well kids just aren't as close minded as we used to be growing up. Hell....in my difficult child's school the girls bounced back and forth all the time. It was the "thing to do" to be a lesbian. That was a really small southern religious farming community. Part 3-The drugs/school issue. Call the principal the minute you find out she is skipping. Report it and do whatever the principal says is the next step. The drugs all you can hope for is that she either gets help or stops doing them on her own. You can offer it but you can't make it happen. [/QUOTE]
