    This made me think back to when miss A was dropped off to you guys and the social worker said that miss A was a bit materialistic or something like that. Watching you guys with her for a year, it is so obvious that isn't the case. Her reaction was so sweet and grateful! ♥️

      It made me think back to that comment too, that was a horrible comment to say in the present of any child or person especially when they are so vulnerable. Turns out miss A was able to teach Whitney and John about hair which will help Whitney with her new found love for wigs lol who can now use what she has learned if she needs to for future placements.

    “We can take it back and get you Cheetos” is the father of all dad jokes. Congratulations Miss A, so well deserved! Those are amazing grades regardless, but especially considering a year of so many transitions, it really speaks volumes about her character.

    Way to go Ms A for those grades! Being 15 as a girl is the hardest year. I don't know why, but 15 just is. So being 15, being in foster care, changing schools and not knowing anyone, then add in the virus, this girl has had major obstacles to overcome. And look at her rock it! So proud of you Ms A!
    I love how much y'all enjoy doing things for her, praising her and making sure she feels wanted and loved. All kids should have that, and foster kids need it more. I wish there were more people like y'all

      15 was hard for me too. Actually, I had a health condition and was missing class because of it. To top it off, my friends were finding new friends, and I didnt know who to sit with at lunch. Finally, I decided I'd had enough of being sick at school and went to online school.
      This decision shaped the rest of my life very negatively. Through the difficulties of being 15, unable to find myself, plus being sick... I made an impulsive choice that ultimately made the last 10 years very difficult for me.
      Something about that age is very crucial to the rest of your life. I'm happy that at 15, miss a - despite her difficulties - has positive role models surrounding her and she has a strong sense of self-motivation.
      I'm so proud of her. Truly. I wish I applied myself the way she did.

      I wish my foster home had been that supportive. I could never do anything right or well enough. It was so hard going from the environment you were brought up in to a completely new one with new expectations and rules that were never clearly defined. Especially as a teen. I kept asking my foster mom to please explain what she wanted done (i.e. chores) and what her expectations were so I would know what to do. She wouldn't explain anything saying I was old enough so I should automatically know. I felt like I was set up to fail from day one. She finally called my case worker and said "now I understand why her dad beat her. Please take her back". I love watching you with Miss A. I am so grateful to see how loving and supportive you are. I guarantee she will always remember and always appreciate you!

    Oh my goodness it just doesn't seem like I started watching you all a year ago and was so anxious to see who your new foster child would be. Miss. A is so lucky to have you all in her life but I kind of think you all are lucky to have her in your lives as well. I think she has enriched your lives as much as you have hers. I just wish all foster matches worked out as well.
    CONGRATULATIONS to Miss. A on a job well done with a fantastic school year.

    She really is such an amazing kid! Darcy & Sawyer are going to have a great role model in her if you get to stay in contact when she goes home
