[quote=Blogstar]I had more baggage than LAX when I was young, or at least I perceived myself that way. I had problems. It wasn’t my fault I was born into the non-family that I was with all the violence drinking bad acts of all kinds and divorce and death. I know I am the only pigg who spent time in a black head of household foster home.But that all that makes a stigma that is hard to break through. I held it against myself and It was held against me.

I had to have more years of reputable adulthood under my belt than other people did to be taken seriously. Lots of women needed life experience to figure out what was important and possibly buck their judgemental parents. It was hard. I am lucky to have survived and have the relationship(s) that I do.[/quote]

How was your foster experience? In theory I would like to do it. But I’d be terrified in practice.
