Our House e-newsletter January 2012 | Page 9

I wasn’t going to let that happen. I was in foster care as a kid. I never got adopted because nobody wanted a kid like me. My parents taught me to steal when I was really little. I wasn’t going to let that happen to my sons. I’m all they have. There are no places for dads and their kids. Everything is set up for mothers. Everywhere I called told me that. The day that DHS was going to take my kids was the day I got into Our House. I sent my two older boys to school, and then my little one and I waited outside for two hours until we could get a ride to Our House. He helped me load up all our stuff and we got over here.
