Hi JGarrick,

I can't help but get angry with your foster parents when I read your story. I just can't understand why foster parents would not love their children (foster or bio) the same...especially in cases like yours where you were with them for sooooo long.

The one comment you made that I can relate to (but I've never done and I don't intend to) was about "being uprooted with a phone call". I say this because occassionally I wouldn't mind threatening my teenage bio son with a "you're going to military school if you don't shape up." I know those kinds of comments would be especially painful to a foster child. I'm hoping that your foster mom didn't mean that...

On any account, thank you for your comments. Once again, I'm seeing such a pattern with many adoptees and I'm learning more with every comment.
