maybe there was already an emancipation in process? Dunno, hopefully someone with familiarity will respond.

Just off the top of my head though could he stay with a relative (sister of the foster father or something) and perhaps get by that way. The agency might not feel they have to process it immediately if he's in a safe environment (she helps him through the grieving process as a relative). And how about administrative convenience ... would he be automatically remanded back into foster care or would there be some leeway there on how quickly the process would move?
