I grew up in foster care from 9 to 17. At 17, I was granted permission to enlist into the US Army. I don't have siblings and I don't know my cousins through my mom. Never knew my father. I did have one foster parent that was terrible. The other three were fantastic. I served 22 years in the Army and retired and I'm now a ff/Engineer for the same county in Ca I went through the foster system in. I'm so glad to hear this story. As soneone who has no siblings. I do have 11 foster brothers and sisters I'm still in contact with. This is a awesome story.

I have been having this question before since I have learnt what is going on these western countries why they come to Africa to adopt kids yet in America many kids needs this more than in Africa . Am just asking I want to know doesn't it because it expensive to adopt in America then in my mother land Africa ?

@littlehouseinthebigapple5716 Год назад

@@justinenakirya3841 I looked into adoption and honestly it’s daunting in America. Right now I’m told there’s a two year wait list just to be considered which can take another two to four years to finally get a child. It can take even longer. With fostering it’s much quicker but some people are not able to foster to adopt and do you may not get a child that way. Family’s often resort to (essentially) buying/finding a child abroad because when people decide to adopt the idea of waiting 5 or more years is excruciating. It’s all hard decisions. Fostering (even when you can’t adopt) can help the child so much but can also be disappointing and heartbreaking for families too. No good answers, only choices families make which they hope will be the best for themselves and the children.

@@frederickhaaken456 that could be the case if it were the foster care system but so believe he legally adopted them.

This is a beautiful story. My mom was a alcoholic and my dad. He was abusive and beat my mom senseless. I wish i was in foster care. 😢 I shouldn't say that, but we were beat so bad. Our skin would be open from wounds. In my father, he was not arrested one time. I do have disabilities, and one is ptsd. As a mom of 11 children and a husband of 19 years. When you go the trauma, it can break you, but you gotta rise above that. It took me years, and I am just keep praying. I give my kids what I didn't have as a kid, and that's the Lord. I give them love, and I am a sahm. I wanted my kids to know, hey, I am there for you. Some do have special needs, but that doesn't mean anything. They all love the same. ❤❤🎉
