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. Most kids don t like to be foster children because they miss their birth parents. Even though some of our parents have done some mean things, we still love them very much. At school I sometimes get made fun of when people feel like picking on me. People treat me differently because they think that I did something against the law or did something bad to be put in foster care.
