My New Life…
On Monday I went to court and I got put into foster care. I had to tell my mom goodbye along with my little brother and dad. I was in tears the whole time. I realized that might have been my last time with my family. It has been hard and I miss them. Before court my first foster home fell through. My caseworker had to take me back to Vantage Point until we could find a placement for me.
After court I was in tears I felt like I could just die and it wouldn’t make a difference to anyone. I got checked into Vantage Point again. Then my caseworker called me and told me that they might have found me a new placement, and they would come talk to me. Later that night my foster parents came to talk to me and see if they wanted to take me home. They came and talked for what seems like forever and decided that they would ask my foster brother and sister what they thought.
Within an hour they decided they wanted me. They told me that they wanted to have me go home with them and they wanted to keep me as a foster sister. After that we went to IHOP for dinner, as a family. I went home and we sat up my room it was the funniest thing I have ever seen: my bed kept falling apart and it was the funniest thing ever. I got to sleep around 11 and I was up by 5:45. It was really odd at first I wasn’t sure what to do or how to act. I came to school and I felt like I was at home everybody was talking to me. Since then I have been there and things are going great and I’m glad I was taken in by them. I have a cell phone, my own room, and they take me out and do stuff for me.
But I will always have one home and its here with all of my friends and my support at SUMMIT!!!

yeah it is hard to get taken away from your family but sometimes it is the best thing that can happen
Just keep your head up and think about your friends here at Summit and try not to dwell on the bad it will only bring you down in life it won't take you up.

Everything turns out for a reason. When i was taken away i cried for a day or two but then j kept on telling myself there must be a reason. You are doing so good. Keep going strong jess. Your foster family is treating you like family. and thats like the best thing they could do.

P.S Foster Care really isn't THAT bad. It's just the outlook that you have on it, and how you decide to take the situation.
