For the past 17 years, I have been busy parenting my 2 daughters but also others children that come and go from our home (Fostering). We had welcome 15 children into our home throughout these here. We had placement that last as long as 8 years consecutive and we had really short placement like for a month or so. We have met kids that were really special to us and we had met some that were more demanding becaused of the way they been raise and trauma they received. Our mainly goal was that we wanted to make a difference in those kids and help them have a better life, a better future and hope. Sadly to say, it has been report that most of the kids that were raise in foster care even tho the support that foster familly give to children they finish on welfare and live poorly, some fall into drugs and alcoolisme. Even tho we show our kids how to save money and find job and to shop wisely, i don'tsee much hope for them unless they decide to fight for themselve and not let those report come and get them too in that sinking hole. Doing that job mean that by our own choices we've decided to work the natural familly also for those who agree. So they could learn a better parenting technics, keep regular contact with their kids and show them how communication work. Its not every parent that will agree with our technics, well most of them don't agree cause they want to show the society that they were not as bad as parenting because we also raise voice, or give consequences like time out or remove of privileges. Presently, we have 3 foster children in our home the oldest is 17 and the youngest is 13 years old. We also have a 24 years old that came back until she can put her feetback on track by finding a better job and get an apt. My biggest wish for all of them is to be able to live life fully in a safe way, to be able to have a good job, built a familly.
