but they thought I was okay, they thought they gave me freedom, but instead,they locked me in this room with chains holding me.
Being placed in Foster homes is something that someone can easily achieve, and the government does not care or dare to check if the environment is okay for children to live in. How was I supposed to recover? I lost my mom, I did not see my brothers, and instead, they place me in a home I was not familiar with. They did not understand what I was going through. Not even one of the foster parents asked me if I needed help. If I needed a shoulder to cry on, no one was there. Then they blamed me for being so misbehaved, but that’s the only way I would have gotten their attention. I was eight years old when I was finally adopted by my older sister that I didn’t even know I had.
On any given day, there are nearly 428,000 children in foster care in the United States.
