@letmefinishthisthought: I created this account for one reason to share my foster care story. Something about putting it on my personal page felt off. I’m in a really happy place right now, and this is a heavy topic. I didn’t want to take away from either. I started a Substack last year just to process everything the world, my past, all of it. It’s been a lot. But it’s been healing. This is that space. My story. Out loud. I’m writing a book about my time in foster care. I’m starting a nonprofit for kids who age out of the system. And I launched a business last year because I genuinely just want to build something good. My life was changed in a big way. If I can do even half of that for someone else… That’s all I want. #fostercare #adoption #resilience #entrepreneur #writer

my mom had a really hard childhood. at one point in my life, I asked her how she overcame so much of her childhood. ill never forget she told me "I knew one day I'd make my own family and they'd never have the same story." she did that. you did that.

So glad you are a mom! I’ve worked for CPS for 33 years and I prayed for each child I placed in foster care, that they would have the outcome you had. I respect you so much. Have your best life!

OMG! I was a foster parent. There is no way, even if I didn’t have room, I would never have denied 3 siblings. I never would have denied 6 siblings. You keep siblings together!

We fostered 13 yrs. 67 kids and I needed to hear your story. We never got to see that side, we took alot of babies. I am so sorry and you are so strong. 💕

So glad you’re doing so well and I hope your sisters are too. As a mom it hurts to know there are so many kids out there w/ similar or worse living situations and not all of those kids end up in nice foster homes. Absolutely heartbreaking

I am a foster parent of a 6 year old little girl. And I hope one day when she tells her story she remembers the love and care that I have been giving her. I recently got guardianship of her. And this little girl is so special in our home! I hope she tells her story the way you have. Being cared about.

I’m glad that they took you out of that situation because you and your sisters would be no better off today. Kind of reminded me of the JD Vance story how he was kind of living the same way and now he’s vice president of the United States. I am happy for you. No child should ever have to experience living in a home or people don’t care.

Because of your trauma, I am sure, based on a few things you've said, it's made you into a wonderful mother yourself. I'm glad your story had a happy ending. Thank you for sharing.
