Picture this you’re a child and you have just been taken out of the only world you know….then your brought into a strange home you never met these people and your suppose to call this place home. You don’t know how to act, what am I suppose to do? DO I go downstairs and hang with the family or do I stay in my room? I am a little hungry what do I do? These people can’t be real, where's the ramon noodles? the type of family you only could dream about. Your becoming the type of person you used to hate, only because you thought you would never be able to have the things that you are getting now. Your wildest dreams are becoming a reality. Now you have someone that believes you can do anything you want. Your starting to get comfortable with your new life, the whole new family and their tradition, something that you never had. Your starting to lose that drowning feeling that you’ve had for a little while now, then all of a sudden the state comes back and makes another decision without even discussing it with the child. The child is not in danger in the home that she is in, the child is not a danger to the home but no one cares what she thinks.

Now you have the younger sibling who has been thrown into a ceiling fan the only type of attention he gets is physical abuse. He is also in this home where dinner is cooked, he has underwear, showers, he learns to pray and to love. He sleeps under sheets in pajamas, breakfast every morning and gets attention without crying. He’s getting over that fear of everything, in just a short period of time.

Without discussing the situation with the foster family, seeing if everything is ok, the phone call comes. The kids are being moved, we don’t feel your house is appropriate for one reason or another.

The kids are being moved and that’s that.

The little boy tries to pray to Jesus but is not sure how because he has never prayed before, the girl just stares out into space. They don’t want to go to another foster home. They have no choice, like they had no choice when they were taken out of their home. They have a feeling of hopelessness, no one cares but the foster mom but she has no control over the state.

The morning comes when they have to leave, the little boy can’t eat his breakfast because he doesn’t want to leave. The girl has no reaction, just another normal day for her.
