Hi, I'm an orphan 
hi! Wow! Have you ever been in foster family  or a group home or state certified caregiver?
Yes. Growing up in multiple different foster families was hard
I'm sorry to hear that. I know placement of a child is normally arranged thru the government or social services. I hope they placed you in a nice family
Some of the families were nice however they were always temporary
, via the family court and child protective services agency, stand "in loco parentis" to the minor, making all legal decisions while the foster parent is responsible for the day-to-day care of the minor.
Most kinship care is done informally, without the involvement of a court or public organization. However, in the U.S., formal kinship care is increasingly common. In 2012, a quarter of all children in formal foster care were placed with relatives instead of being placed into the system.

Foster care
Foster care is a system in which a minor has been placed into a ward, group home (residential child care community, treatment center, etc.), or private home of a state-certified caregiver, referred to as a "foster parent" or with a family member approved by the state. The placement of the child is normally arranged through the government or a social service agency. The institution, group home or foster parent is compensated for expenses unless with a family member.
