A former foster child/teen here just recently lost my adopted mom.💔 She passed right before Christmas, she was my world and a huge anchor. Not having any parents is such a deep wound, I feel incredibly loss in a way in the losses. 😢😔😢 These stories are moving, it’s certainly not easy after aging out let alone, being in the system especially without so much support and care. Not having a foundation of family.
My heart goes out to you. I hope you have found people you can call family. If not yet, I hope you find them soon. Each relationship is different, and none will be like your foster mom. But they will bring their own gifts.
Diamond gives a good interview, and I hope he's doing well today. "I couldn't imagine being named anything else, not Bob, and not John." I feel the same way. Shine on you crazy diamond.
Ok Jimmy, Margaret. Your mum and I are going to have to give you up to foster care in order that you can get a university degree. We'll be thinking of you

These kids are stronger than most adults. It’s because they have to be. I wish Diamond the best.

There should be a housing program they can afford with minimim wage
I lost both parents as a young adult, that was scary enough. I hate to think about what these kids go through.
My heart goes out to aging out youth ....that don't know. Life is not easy for them - but they keep going. I have no excuse.
It's truly the worse, and it can be very traumatizing
It's hard, I'm still learning now
Moment of Silence
Great video
His face does not look like a criminal or drug user. I was surprised when he said he once was.

I pray God gives us empathetic hearts and that we appreciate all we have. May the Lord help us to help others.
