[quote=Anonymous]I was a foster kid. Emergency placement when I was 4 (parents arrested for drugs), 6 (in car with drunk driver parent), removed from home for neglect and abuse at 8 and 10. By 12 I’d just lie when the social workers showed up because I knew the system and it was better to be neglected than shuttled around to scary new places. I never stole or hurt people, but I also never felt safe. Ever. If you do this, you need to have a very open heart. None of the families were mean, but it was always cramped, messed up kids, weird food, no clothes, what about my school?, what about my friends?, what about my sister?, and yes, what about my mom.
