My mother is a foster parent to so many kids. She started when she was just 18 and was helping my grandma who was also a foster parent then. In my younger childhood memories I remember so many kids that was taken in and loved. My mom specialized in newborn babies to seven year old kids. Now in my nineteens I realize that what she does is a great wonderful thing, as many people would say it is an angelic deed to do.
I want to do the same thing that my mom does because looking at the poor, down on their look little kids I want to teach them that it is not their fault. Sometimes it is hard because once you get attached to that little kid and they call you mom it would be time for them to go back home. That is the part that is heart breaking because you think of that kid as your own and nobody can tell you different.To this day I still wonder to myself about all the kids that came to our house and left.
Even though they are gone from the house their presence is still with me. I want to be a mom that can give other little kids love that they will remember for a lifetime even when they do leave my house. My mom also adopted seven kids that she fostered and now they are happy little munchkins that are filled with love. That is why I want to follow in my mothers footsteps because I want to give love to the kids that need it the most. I want to hug them and tell them that everything will be okay when they are with me.
Wow! You and your mother have a special kind of heart that is very rare now a days. It must be so hard to get attached and they have to leave they strength you must posses in order to not get depressed every time. I applaud you for following in her steps, the world needs more people like you and your mom.
