Thirteen Years Fostered / Austin Macauley Publishers LLC (ePub)

Too many children are placed within the foster system all across the world. This book is based on the life of just one of those children. There are many circumstances that lead a child to be removed from their home life. Not one child has the same experience, and not one of them is brought into the world with the same variables. Each experience deserves to be told, one by one. Some people get to the point that shows how unprepared they are to parent a child. With those issues only growing with time, it affects their child. The foster system gets notified, although not always when they should, and the child is removed in hopes of a better home life, which is not always the case. With so many different adults in one's life, it can at times become difficult with so many varying opinions and views on how one should behave and live. The proposed idea of foster care is definitely needed, but the problem lies with the people who aren't prepared to deal with these children. Already coming from troubled homes, the children need extra care, patience, and attention. It's the responsibility of the foster parents and caseworkers, regardless of their caseloads, to give each child the care they deserve and are promised while being taken from their homes. These children need and rely on help in order to grow within society so they can build a life away from the wrongs in the world.
