Personal Narrative-Foster Home
I woke up to the sound of my alarm going off. "Would you turn that shit off." I heard James Kennedy, my foster father, yell. I quickly stopped my alarm and got up to walk downstairs. While walking down the stairs i slipped and fell straight on my ass bone. "Why can't you even walk down the stairs correctly." My foster father muttered while walking to the kitchen. I finally gathered myself together and walked into the kitchen. My foster father sat at the table reading the newspaper. "Look at this mexican f*g." My foster father said pointing to a photo of a man with long hair pulled back into a ponytail. The title read "Lin-Manuel Miranda broke the record for Tony nominations." I read the first sentence of the article about this Lin dude and …show more content…
I could tell he was freaking out a bit.

"We will take her out of that house today and put her into the nearest orphanage until someone will foster or adopt her." One officer said. I knew I wasn't going to get adopted and if I was put into another foster home it would be terrible again. Tears started streaming down my face while thinking about that.

"Wait, what if I foster her? I have an amazing wife, young son, we both have stable jobs, enough room for her, and I only want her to be happy." Lin said. I was almost in shock. He hasn't even ran it by his wife yet. The officers told him to call his wife and make sure she was okay with it. When the call was finally over he had an answer from Vanessa. "Vanessa said she would love to foster and help Malina." Lin said. I smiled and still had tears falling down my face, but now I think it was happy tears.

I heard chairs move around, so I suspected Lin and the officers to come out the door. So, I ran the the other side of the hallway and sat down. Lin was the first on to come out and he ran to me and pulled me up. Once I was up he pulled me close, picked me up, and spun me around. "Mi amor, mi hija." Lin said and I finally felt

    A dozen squealing, laughing little girls tugged my arms, legs and hands. They were so excited to show me their bedroom. Meeting all the orphans at the Colima, Mexico orphanage was very overwhelming and very emotional. At first, I felt very out of place, like seeing grass during a Michigan winter. All these kids surrounding me right now have no families and have nobody to love them. These kids were all beautiful in their own way and really knew how to make you smile without even trying.They were like flowers in a rundown parking lot. Beautiful but with a dark, sad background. Everytime they looked at you, you could see the excitement in their eyes.…

    Foster Care Essay

    Foster care started in the 1500’s because of the overwhelming number of children without parents and, therefore, homes. The biggest reason there were so many children without guardians was because this was a time when many people had to resort to indentured servitude to survive. There were also many more people dying from now-preventable or now-curable diseases, and when parents died, their kids would join the other orphans in the streets. The number of children on the streets was a problem for many reasons, including moral obligations, excessive thieving problems and the vandalization of homes and businesses. The government had to come up with a way to get these kids off the streets, and their solution was foster care.…

    I had a traumatic experience of an eight-years old kid whining in gibberish, crying until gagging, shrieking at an ear-splitting pitch, and throwing up an obnoxious blob of mess all at the same time right before my eyes next to me in a car. Ever since then, I put some distance between little children and myself, trying to avoid any kinds of interactions with them as much as I can. Babysitting was a fearful task and when I was once asked by a teacher to babysit his three little children for a couple of hours, I felt the uneasiness building up inside of me. Nonetheless, there was a moment when I came to see children differently regardless of my own desire.…
