This is a place where you can come for advice or a kind word. If you are in a group home, Foster care or had no family due to any circumstance, There are many things you may not have learned. I hope to motivate change in your life! If you have no family to inspire you on bad days, you may find something here to show you how to get out of your bubble and "take back your life! * These words are my opinions only and based on my 16 years in foster care!

kidnapped siblings
siblings are the most important beings God made, in case your parents fail, can't do, won't do or are just too busy to give you all the love and attention you need. So why do they split us apart? To make more $$$ and because they usually could not find a home for more than one back in the day, but things have changed thankfully.
My baby brother Mark was adopted off quick because he was light skin, red hair, freckles, only about 15 miles from where I grew up in my last foster home. I made a point NOT to date light skinned red or brown hair guys, as it COULD potentially be, my baby brother who was born October 6, 1971 in Brooklyn, NY.
I have never found him and have tried everything but private detective, which I might have to do. How can he. disappear off the face of the earth? I pray he is well.
I want you to ALWAYS keep in touch with your siblings no matter what they say!!!
They are your key to life when you are down, the air you need to breath when you have to move to unfamiliar places AGAIN and AGAIN, they are the key to YOUR life being stable in ONE area, the only family you have left that is reliable.
I had NO one but my baby brother Rob, they took my sister and brother away, thankfully when my mom went into coma and died, the law aloud us to see her and family again.
While no one stays in touch from my birth family but a few, i realized my siblings is most important and I am blessed to have my sister in my life.
We can never get the years we missed but we try to love like siblings, unconditional and intentional as God deemed us to be together. FIND YOUR SIBLINGS!!!
use facebook, telegram is more secure but i know you young folk like the gram..instagram and snapchat..Don't stop until you find them, they will be the key to you rising up no matter how hard life gets.
Go to college IF you can OR open your own business doing whatever YOU are GREAT at; singing, making clothes, jewelry, drawing, carpentry, plumbing, electronics...IF you have YOUR own business....you can have freedom and time to help YOUR siblings get on their feet.
Don't repeat your parents abandonment cycle, don't repeat abuse or neglect, get therapy, read, write in a journal, pass the journal to your siblings, ask the social worker if you can send the journal back and your sibling enter something then your turn, this way you never disconnect.
I learned this early and my dear friend Liz Welch, teaches fosters to stay in touch through journaling, you can too!
I love you for your tenacity, courage and I love you for rising to the top no matter what, never give up, FosterKidsuNite, Inc LOVES our foster and aged out foster youth!
