From the beginning
This is a story about what I had to go through at a very young age that relates to foster children When I was eight years old, my brother and I went into the foster care system. Our foster family provided us with food, comfort, and protection. I was so grateful to sleep on a fresh clean bed the first day there. I was nervous coming into a new home, but I got used to it while the days passed. I never really understood the foster program. I thought it was a permanent home for good. I realized as a year passed my foster parents were like my mom and dad. They were not just my foster family, they were my real family. I grew to love them. I never thought that I could love someone that I barely knew in my life. It is amazing how great things can happen when you least expect it. When I was ten years old I said goodbye to my birth mom. She could not take care of me and my brother anymore. I was very heart broken. I was still with my same foster family. A year later an amazing thing happened, our foster family adopted me and my brother. I was so happy to know that I was loved and cared for. Being adopted was the best thing that has ever happened to me. For once in my life, I was a completely different person.I felt safe and secure and knowing that I won't be heartbroken anytime soon. I want you to make a change. don't let a child go through what I went through.
