i guess in many cases foster care is better than your life. i mean, from the enviroment you were in before. meaning, you are in foster care because of your parents and/or familys actions and surroundings and not your own. unlike me, i got myself into this. therefore, i think foster care is hard. hard being away from your family. hard not seeing your friends. just hard adjusting to a new lifestyle. well atleast for me. anyone else in foster care because of something you did?
keep your head up high. God has plans for everyone. You are all truly blessed. Take care of yourselves! Happy Holidays.
Foster care changed my life for sure! I was going down the wrong path in life, I basically did what I wanted when I wanted, and no one told me otherwise. If I had not entered foster care I'd probably still be in that mindset to this day, or maybe even worse. Entering foster care helped me focus and get back on track, if it wasn't for foster care I wouldn't have graduated high school and gone into college. I have been placed five times while in foster care, now I work with ILP in my state of Connecticut, but every placement taught me something and I left every placement with a new piece of myself. Over all my foster care experience has helped me make the most of my life and I am more than grateful for it.
I think that many different people have had many different experiences in the foster care system. Unfortunately many of them are negative, but there are a lot of positive stories. I think that each story has its merits. That's why FosterClub is so great, you have a space to share your story and listen to other peoples. Amplify Your Voice!
Well foster care for me was great it make me the person who i am. Because from anywhere i went as in foster homee where i moved too i took some of there values i like and i felt that was goinng to be necessary in my life so i thought it was a good thing. I am not ashamed to say I AM A FOSTER KID. The foster care system in NYS help me out and was a part of my life. I am glad i was put in care. Now i am happily engaged to a wonderful girl in my life and getting married next year. So i was saved by being put into the foster care system. Just remember there is life after foster care. True that.
Foster care for me was my saving grace. I came from a biological family that was extremely unstable and out of whack. Without entering foster care they would have been a high chance that I would not be where I am today. In foster care it gave me the opportunity to finish HS, go to college and create the support group needed to be successful. A lot of the time I find it hard to state that I had a great foster care experience because there are so many youth out there that are unhappy with their current situation in care and that they are receiving the same opportunity I did to succeed, but one of my friends told me that I am the example on how foster care should work. Every youth deserves someone to love for them and to care for them and to be there whenever needed, and I was lucky enough to have that in foster care. I wish my story brings hope to the other youth out there that there is a possibility that you will have an amazing foster care experience. Lets work together to change the system for the better!

I like hearing your story that it was a help to you. I know most have a bad experince, but do you know why? I feel we have a say in what happens while away in care. What may seem to be bad actually may be good. I know this has been the case for me as I was away. It helped create the young strong man I am today. It has been a long journey and my jorney continues, but I made foster care become a part of who I am. I was not fortunate to have stayed stable in foster care in any one place, but I learbed a lot and I am not like most my age. This is both good and bad, I know I would be nothing like I am today had I stayed at home. I always desired tohave a home life, but I have managed to say I will make home eventually as my sucsess paves itself in life.
Well foster care opened up so many posibilitys for me. I was able to go to school because of being in care and got my appartment furnished and much more. I know that this was because I was placed in a good home and that I did not move around at all. I wish every foster child experanced this but sad enough not everyone does. I was only in care for a year and I feel as if my home life was like what most people experiance in care. I understand that it may be hard but there are people out there that I are trying to fix the flaws in the system and it will be better for future foster children.
Foster care took me out of a really bad situation with my bio-parents and since we weren't together all the time our relationship was better but it still sucks. The hardest part for me was telling all my friends why I had to move 4 cities away. Foster care has made me a stronger person though.Ivve met lots of awesome people as well.
