Some kids have been passed around the foster system so much that they resist the idea of moving again. They leave one foster family because they have an attitude. That attitude was created by the circumstance. Chances are good that they have low self-worth. This not only saddens them but also angers them. They carry that attitude with them. They are not just angry with the world. They are also angry with themselves. They believe that they are the cause of all that has happened, that somehow things would have been different if they had not been born. It takes a very long time to lessen these feelings. They are never gone, only lessened. It takes a lot of patience and understanding to deal with foster children.
How do I know these things? My sister was one. I guess I was fortunate in that my brother and I went straight to Boystown.

Pfft. Get over it Mel, you've grown up as one of the good ones.

Would you have liked to be one of my kids
