  I’ll never understand why people are so horrible to children. Your “temper tantrums” weren’t you being bad, they were a cry for love. You have been failed by sooooo many adults in your life, I’m proud of the adult you have become.

  My last foster home, I was 13 at the time and it was like middle of the night like in talking 2 am. I don’t know why I was awake or why my foster mom was awake but we ended up getting into a really big fight, I was screaming at her, I pushed her so much she was screaming at me and then I told her “just send me back already, they all do, everyone leaves” and she stopped in her tracks, looked me dead in the eyes and said “you’re not replaceable, you’re not broken, I’m not leaving you” it’s always stuck with me. Because even when I was put back with my bio parents, and they made me cut contact with her. The day I turned 18, she texted me again. She didn’t leave even when she was told she had to. She waited.

  I do not understand why people would foster children with anger and hate in their hearts. I am so glad you found Crystle and Aaron because they have been a blessing to you and so many of your brothers and sisters.

  This break my heart 💔. Shame on the system for not protecting you.  These people do not deserve to be parents ,foster, or adopt.

  Those foster parents should have been arrested for abuse.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CeGyELg97LM&amp;t=991">16:31</a> In high school our principal told my best friend Richard Whitby that he was a “bad kid” and that he wouldn’t amount to anything. When his parents were appalled by this, the principal wrote them a letter and encouraged them to do the same saying she was doing it to encourage Richard to WANT to be better. That telling him he’d be a nobody would make him somehow become some savant prodigy success story. His parents refused, but she kept at it. One day she told him again he’d amount to nothing and be no one, and told him “do you really expect to be successful and happy in life with how you’re doing?”. Richard went home and hung himself that night. We were tenth graders. We’re all in our thirties now. And he’s still dead…all because a woman who should’ve spent her time fostering and encouraging his success and happiness decided to tear it down more. In my opinion, she murdered him. This was all on the news. His parents advocated for him and kids like him, by holding the school system accountable. They didn’t want money. Didn’t have a lawsuit. But they sure as shit made sure everyone knew why their son was dead.
