I was a GS, and I loved it! I was also a Campfire Girl and in 4H, and I got something from being in one that I didn't get from the others. I was also a foster kid, so I got to do these things for free, because, you know, people felt bad for the poor foster kid with no family... I had one, TYVM! As a now-mother of 4,…

I am so sorry to hear that your baby is in a bad situation. I am currently working on a masters in social work so that I can work with families like yours and it always breaks my heart when babies are taken from safe, loving families and put back in harms way. I will hold out hope your baby comes home to you, a safely…

exactly, and they taught me what family can be. which is why I have one of the biggest "families" ever - I hate the word "foster" because it comes with so many bad connotations, but truly, the kids I grew up with ARE my brothers and sisters, and my papa and mimi are just incredible. It's one of the reasons I fought so…

I agree - for the last 15 years I've raised an adorable little boy into a young man, AFTER his bio mom ran for the hills.

My "genetic" dad was a real piece of shit, but the universe made up for that by giving me the most incredible foster dad that ever was (and mom, too) - my Papa is INCREDIBLE!!! (and yes, I am 35 and still talk to my fosters every week!)

Me, too. :) I was 21 and scared shitless then... now he eats me out of house and home and leaves utensils everywhere (he has asperger's and kitchen utensils are one of his obsessions) and refuses to clean his bathroom and talks nonstop about gaming... semi-typical 14 yr old boy

I had my now 14 yr old son 5 weeks early... he was a healthy little one weighing in a 5 lbs 3 oz and I took him home 3 days later.

DENTON! I lived in the northeast for years (after growing up in Texas) then came home and I LOVE it here. a little quirky, liberal oasis in the middle (ok, on the northside) of the metroplex. It's pretty awesome here.
