When Ronnie asked me to write this she had no idea that I listen in on conversations between her and my adoptive Mom. For the rest of the story I will just call her Mom that is who she is. The woman that My Sister Brother and I came from is not Mom and that is what this story is about. I would mention my Mom's name and talk about all the great things she does but she doesn't want me to and neither does her daughter my sister. I am writing this because I want all the Foster and Adoptive kids to know, love, and appreciate their parents, meaning the ones who open their homes and took them in. From hearing Aunt Ronnie and Mom talk it seems as if most kids have nice fresh sweet cherries but always want to go back to sour grapes. It doesn't make sense. My Sister says she isn't like that but from what I hear she still has contact with her biological family EVERY DAY! From what Mom says its because she feels they didn't ALL do negative things to her but point blank they didn't want her. I wonder if she ever thinks about how much it hurts OUR Mom that she has contact. I know it does because I hear the calls and though Mom never mentions it, the message is clear.She like many others find excuses as to why a Grandmother couldn't take her in and more and more lame excuses. These kids miss the families who abused or neglected them. My aunt Ronnie has taught me that I am good, smart, cute ( I already knew that!) and worth loving. The Woman who had me missed out on three great kids and no, I don't miss her or her Mom or anyone who didn't have the time to love me. A piece of advice to all Foster and Adoptive kids, CHERRIES RULE, so why go back to sour grapes. And to my Sister, sure , its easy for em to be nice to you from thousands of miles away but no one is going to be like Mom, she wanted you and she wants me. Stick to the cherries because grapes are the pits!

Mom's cherries and grapes are a good concept and for the most part I think that it is true but some times it is not that simple. Not everything is always black and white or in this casr red and purple. But I do agree with you that home is where the heart is and that we need to apprecitae all of the people who help us and care for us, and yes I realize that there is no one else like Mom. And as far as my Grandma maybe this will help you understand why I still talk to her. I look at her more like a foster parent to me that couldnt keep me anymore. Just like you are staying with Aunt Ronnie untill Mom can adopt you, and even thought she can't keep you that doesnt mean that she doesnt love you or care about you, and you still want to talk to her and see her. So it is basically the same thing. I hope that this helps. I don't believe that you can have more than one mom and I dont want to leave Mom, espically to go back to my Grandma. She is the one I am ment to be with.
As far as other kis who come from homes where they are abused and neglected and want to go back I truely believe that it is an adiction they have. Just like people are addicted to drugs, I believe that people can be addicted to situations. I am not going to go into my whole theory on here but I will explain it to you some time.
You are a very smart boy and you know that, thats good. Keep being the positive young man that you are and keep believeing in your self and you will do very well.
