As you are a minor you can ask your foster parent or mother to assist you with this. The process requires a petition to change your name be filed with the courts in the county in which you reside. You will need your mom's permission to do this and there is a filing fee and appearance in court required. Check with your local district court clerk and they should be able to give you the forms.
