Hi blog family!
Tomorrow- Feb 9th..... is another year I made it!
When I think of my circumstance;
1. my mom being an addict/alcoholic
2. being abandoned
3. growing up in foster care, being abused at a young age - WOW!
Like myself, many of you have went through or are going through the same challenges.
I want you to always remember God will never let you down, as long as you can celebrate a birthday every year- DO it! Life is precious.
We could have been the ; The "lisa Steinberghs", the kids drowned by there own mother when she put their car in the water with her kids, we could have been aborted, and most important, we could have NOT BEEN HERE!!!
Every day you wake, you should jump out of bed early, happy and ready to face ANY challenges life puts before you because you know If you are alive to tell YOUR story, You are a success!!
Don't EVER give up!
God has many plans fr you if you keep faith, even in the darkest moments.
Always remember your ancestors who survived slavery, holocaust, potato famine etc... how did they do it? Perseverance, positive, love of self, knowing they had a right like anyone else! adopt this attitude!
I want you to never say you hate your birthday (like I use to because i never got what I wanted or no one ever remembered :(
Its YOUR birthday -
go out and make it special!
help someone else in foster care, be a role model....
Thanks to all you blog readers, almost 11,000!!!! wow!
Remember May 19th Fosterkidsunite will be doing another event in Mt. Kisco for foster kids.
anyone living in NY that can attend the event can apply for the Robert Cooper Memorial Scholarship, social workers you may know a foster kid leaving/aging out going to trade school or college, please send me your email and I will send application.
Have a great day and smile, you may save or change a life!!! xo Tanya

Always available to speak to your group home or foster kids/parents
