I wish people wouldn t ask me so much. It is hard to be a foster child during the holiday because I miss my family. I remember all the good times I had. Christmas is a family time, and I miss my family. I have to follow all directions to get presents.
Most foster children don t want to show our true colors.
We want to act as if we are tough. We don t like to be bothered. We are not in the holiday mood, sometimes, during the Christmas or Chanukah season. Some kids are fortunate to see their mom or dad, or both. Some kids have organized gatherings with parents.
