Rhonda,
You know, you're about the eighth or ninth former foster child that I've heard talk about pictures. It must be so disorienting---if that's the right word---to have no pictures, no evidence about your own past.
After I heard one teenager talk about this, I was so moved that I started scrapbooking for my foster kids and foster kids from about four other families that I'm close to. I make at least a small album for each kid that comes through, no matter how short a time they stay. I hope someday these little albums will mean something to them.....if only to let them know how much their foster families really loved and cared about them.
I think a lot about some of these kids, and wonder how they are.
