Yes! Whether or not you want to be on birth control and which method you want to use is entirely your choice. Caseworkers cannot attempt to prohibit you from seeking contraceptive services, and you may request them from your healthcare provider. It is your healthcare provider’s responsibility to determine if adult consent is required. You cannot be punished for seeking out contraception. However, some foster families may not agree with your decision to seek out birth control, and they are not obligated to help you get it. In this circumstance talk to your caseworker. Also, no one can force you to take birth control. It is your right to say “NO.”
