I had a friend who was in foster care, I met her while playing behind my mom's house when I was staying with her for a weekend. There were two little girls. We were best friends, I spent every weekend with them. It was hard to get us apart. I went to my mom's one weekend and asked to play with them. She sat me down and said I couldn't. She was put in foster care. That ended our days of play and I didnt really have friends where my mom lived. It was hard, I haven't had contact with that freind since I was told she left.
It makes me wonder how many kids go through that. Coming home and a friend or even a family member is just gone. It may seem like a good thing to other people, but it's sad. Think about being taken from every one and everything you know. I don't know many kids in foster care, so it's hard for me to understand what they go through.
And most of them aren't put with their families. They go to strangers, and they get shipped around all the time. They say foster care is for the best, but I'm pretty sure moving from family to family isn't exactly a 'Stable Living Enviroment.' I may just be a kid, but I know well enough some things just don't change. People get taken "For the better" but it's not always for the better. It's personal feelings.
I'm just sad I never got my goodbye. But that's life, huh? you get whats thrown at you in all hopes you can deal with it. "You can't change your situation, you can only change how you choose to deal with it."
