I’ve adopted and dealt with foster kids.
Almost anything is better the removing them. We adopted a teen from foster care. Every single person she knew that ended up in the system is either in jail. On hard drugs. In Abusive relationships. Or have kids already taken away. Or all of the above.
Being bounced around from home to home just destroyed their sense of belonging.
We had a brutal number of years of lost health l destroyed finances and everything else before she finally knew we loved her and wanted her.
But I did get to finally walk her down the aisle and she is with a good man now.
- soderfoo 4y agoThanks for sharing such a nice story. I've put off starting a family until my mid 30s due to being abandoned by my mother as a child. Luckily, my dad did all he could to shower me with love and raise me well. It took a while for me to truly appreciate him (early 30s) and accept he will always be there. When my time comes to be a dad, I hope to harness the patience and empathy of great parents like you and my dad.
