I have no doubt that you will be an even more fantastic mother to your own precious little girl because of what you went through. What a drag, man.

I was told specifically that because I was over 12 when I entered care I would NOT get a foster home and I was stuck with group homes. These apply for group homes not foster homes. Please don't get me wrong, there are definately some amazing families out there who allow their kids to live as normally as possible. This is based on my experience, and the experience of most teens who enter care.

Actually it's worse than jail. At least in jail you get to set and watch TV all day, I've heard. It would suck big time. Actually it’s worse than jail.

However, I know several foster families that try their hardest to keep as much of the child's "life" with them as possible. Unfortunately some kids don't have those things a lot of us have or had. You hear about the bad all the time. It's sad. But there are some awesome foster family agencies and homes that provide exceptional care.
