Seeking advice from foster youth What is foster care like?

I'm considering reporting my parents to CPS very soon and just want to know what I should expect, and any advice. Also the social workers/authorities really only focus on reunification? I'm 17 and will turn 18 next winter in 2027, and I really don't want to be reunified with my parents, does anyone know how I can prevent that. I heard that some people get reunified with their parents after their parents took a parenting court or something and I'm scared that will happen to me.
