My story...

I was adopted at the age of 11 was with the family since I was 4, My brother was also adopted with me he was 12. We were both abused, we have been beaten if we didn't do as they wanted. I would be down stairs in my room they would be upstairs in theirs and they would call my name to get them a glass of tea when it was closer to them. I was the one they got to do almost everything. My brother was once beaten once he got out of the pool and was soaked and wet. He was beaten all the way into the house and up the steps. They told us to give our mom foot massages. They would get switches off of trees and beat my foster brother. They would make fun of my other foster brother that had addhd and bipolar and manic depresice and phsycotic episodes. We honestly didn't know what we were signing when we signed the adoption forms. If I did bad in school I could not see my biological parents for the weekend that was court ordered. I had a girlfriend that was half black and they were racist so they called her a halfbreed and said i couldn't see her. I have been kicked out of their home 1 and a half years ago the weekend after my sixteenth birthday. The reason is because they were beating my older brother and I was done with it so i simply pulled him away and my foster brother jumped in and pulled me to ground so he came down with me. They threatened to call the cops and press charges that day. I have been living with my biological parents since. I believe they have been collecting money the whole time by what I have researched. I was/still am afraid to tell anyone cause I'm scared they will take me and my brothers away from my biological parents.(which honestly take really good care of me and treat me like a kid/teenager should be treated.) Also, I was asked if I still wanted to see my biological sister because she was with a different foster family. I think about her a lot. I haven't seen a picture or her in forever. My biological mom hasn't either and she was court ordered that she was supposed to see pictures. At this point I am trying to get a job and it is hard because I need photo ID and I also tried getting my learners but the foster parents wouldn't take me and my biological parents couldn't sign because they don't have proof they are my gaurdian. My foster parents have pretty much ruined my life, it has also makes me depressed thinking about it a lot.
