Thank-you @doitvoluntarily for giving us a look into your own childhood and how the Foster Care / CPS system let you and your family down so greatly.
I am very glad to hear that loving family members were finally able to get you to live with them. It is a shame that you had to flounder so long in an uncaring foster home.
It seems that CPS does not do what is best for the child unless they are forced to. They should ALWAYS be with their parents or an extended family member wherever that is viable.
