For those of you who don’t know the foster care system, you put all clothing and personal items in a black trash bag (no luggage provided) and that travels with you from home to home. A trash bag. Very dehumanizing experience. There are also a lot of troubled kids, fighting, crying, and kids have to act tough to survive it. I really hope her story can inspire others to help fix the broken system. ❤

That's exactly how both of our sons came. One from a foster home and one from an orphanage. Both came with a trash bag filled with their belongings. Most toys broken and most clothes didn't fit. Poor kids. My parents also took in 19 foster kids while I was growing up. That's how all of the kids came to us. Trash bags with their stuff inside.

Maybe her biological parents were actually her adoptive parents and the principal and is wife is actually her adoptive parents ? Or maybe she was an illegal birth mix up ? Whatever the case god bless those parents she’s with now ! If these parents are actually her biological parents she lives with so glad she got reunited especially if they were a teen mom or something ! Even if not they deserve her !

I was a homeless child. I bounced from group home to group home. I can very easily understand why she acted the way she did. A group home can break you down and take away your humanity. It is always chaotic. There is very little if any place or time so you can unwind and de-stress. You are not living. You are just going through the motions just so you can make it through the day. I am happy that she was rescued and brought into a loving family. Many of us were never that lucky.

As a former foster care person here, I’m so happy she found a home. I never got that chance and I still struggle to this day because I don’t have any resources or family to lean back on. I’m 24 and it’s been a very difficult transition. I’m so thankful for people like these two instead of seeing her as aggressive but as troubled and hurt and lost in life. That’s what we needed the most.

a juvenile delinquent lol Trust me, you were a normal kid. Most kids back then who didn´t do exactly what everyone else did thinks they were juvenile delinquents. all you did were stupid/silly things, you were not a delinquent, you just didn´t follow everyone else. Hopefully you still kept that with you (your own personality and own thinking). It sounds to me like you sadly adjusted to becoming like everyone else (if your friends are shocked at how you were before, that means you´re like everyone else now). That´s sad. I´m 54, apparently also a juvenile delinquent, and I never changed. I live life, i don´t live in life ;)
