I went into foster care when i was 4 days old, I was a drug baby, but i was placed with a really nice family for a couple of months then they took me away from them, and put me back with my birthmother. My birth mother did meth and needle drugs and drank all the time, I was starved, whenever i got into the fridge to get something to eat she would poor the hottest of the hot sauses down my throught. I was abused terribly. My dad is and was a sex afender. I am now 13 rs. old and adopted.

I grew up in fostercare and this hits my heart. I remember not going to school because of cort and wanting to just go to school like a normal kid. You feel so trapped in the fostercare so it makes so much sense "I wanna fly away"

[mzcollege1992]

[whaitekahukura]

very moving video, I grew up in foster care myself from about a year old until i was around 11 yrs old, then adopted to an abusive woman. At 18 I left home and got into one abusive relationship then from that to two more of them. I now stay single and raise my son, I lost my other children to these people based on malicious lies from nutbar people who should not have had children of their own.
