You might be a foster kid if your "parents" bought you over seas then brought you to the USA & forged paperwork & bypassed the law, then told you you were adopted & decided they didn't want to deal with the mess of paperwork they created and handed you over to DCF & hoped it would all go away then you ended up with no citizenship, no way to get it & became stuck in the shithole that is the American foster care system until you aged out & then THEY hoped it would all go away :take a deep breath:
I was in foster care for 8 years and aged out of the system. I graduated from a 4 year institution, have a good job, am applying to graduate school for Cognitive Psychology, and am working toward my black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. These jokes are great. It's nice to know I'm not alone in this and that people can have a sense of humor about it :) We didn't get to laugh enough as kids, but we can now!
You might be a foster kid if the government spent about a million bucks on you, but you never got a penny out of it. The CPS and foster care system in america= a multi-billion dollar fraud.
You might be a foster kid if you were illegally taken from your parents custody on falsified records to pay the wages of State employees, therapists, court service officers, judges, social workers, guaridan ad litems... etc!
My wife and I are going to become foster parents within the next couple months. I know that there are bad foster care situations, but we are committed to providing a loving home for some needy kids. Whoever we get will be no different than our biological kids. I hope our foster kids will turn out as good as so many of you and reunite with their biological families! (and I like using the jokes to raise awareness, sad and funny at the same time)
wow stop buggin i don't care if i was a foster kid i'm fine now... with out somebody treating me like a pay check and working around there house for there own benefit f the way you may complain you have your own 2 feet don't let them stop you from using them... worry of your own benefits things that would help you progress and don't give them an inch i mean nobody cuz they will always take a mile...
I was a foster kid for 5 years it will be 6 in May. i Hated every moment of it! i admit i had good parents sometimes but they treat u like a paycheck and they try to scare you with "ima kick u out if ur bad" its Emotionaly Tiring!
I was in foster care for six years, the reasons for it were so bullshit that the phsycologist child services hired for my dad agreed with my parents and fought againts child services. unfortunately my sister was lead to beleive that my parents dont love her. Havent seen her for a whil......I miss her so much
I was a foster kid for 16 years. I lived with one family for 14 years and they were amazing. I was treated as family and i the word Foster Child never was spoken. I couldn't have asked for a better life.
So what...you think they'd just be better off in an orphanage? And thats a horrible stereotype I know plenty of foster parents who love the kids they get to take care and trey to provide as much care as possible for them.
thanks .. sharing..

I hate foster Care. They're sorta like Nazi parents, from what i've experienced with every fosterchild i've come in contact with.
