I'm thinking a book might be a great idea. I don't know of any books written from the perspective of a former foster child, though there certainly may be some. It sounds like you have a lot of experience to offer both foster kids and adoptive parents. The one thing I think I've learned from your story is huge difference that being legally adopted makes for some kids. I guess before now, I always felt that in situations like yours, the parents felt like the foster kids were theirs...and that the kids felt like the foster parents were theirs. I know there are always exceptions but I wouldn't have expected that.
