      I love love love this! I wish ever foster kiddo out there could have as relaxing and healing home as theirs! Regardless of the issue they are coming from, as a teenager especially, having their OWN space away from the foster family & forming their identity separate from the familial drama they have had going on for goodness knows how long, is SO essential to these kids being successful adults & transitioning to being productive, happy members of adult society in their next few years of life!

    Miss A has a lot of pencils cause I can tell you as a college student and someone who has graduated high school in the last two years we lose pencils all the time. A friend needs a pencil, we leave our pencil in a classroom never to be seen again, they fall out of our pockets, we use them for homework at night and forget to return them to our backpack and need several backups just for one day its CRAZY. I was so happy to finally be able to write notes with our laptops but it doesn't help with memorization... the struggles of school...

    You guys are amazing foster parents. My parents fostered newborns when I was growing up. They would come to us and stay their first 6 weeks to 6 months during the time period their moms to change their minds. My youngest sister is also adopted from the foster care system. Through these experiences I’ve learned that not all foster placements are good, but any child/teen who is placed with you is a lucky one. I love watching your videos, thank you for sharing your experience with us all.

    Yaaa!!! Ms. A is in the video. I love how you follow up the very usual teenage exasperation, with a stroke on the baby's cheek and by playing with him. You may have a biting wit at times Ms. A, but it's obvious you are a softy on the inside, with lots of love to dole out. You remind me of my teen daughter. And, I gotta say, you on the floor at Target is pretty much exactly how I feel each time I go to Walmart. 🤣
    I definitely have empathy for you Ms. A. I dreaded going to a new school at about your age. Just be your funny, sweet and awesome self and things will fall into place. ❤ . And, if they don't right away, just remember, tons of other teens feel the same way. It takes a little time to adjust sometimes. As I tell my daughter all the time, just try to keep your head up, shoulders back and smile on. You got this!!! Hugs from Louisiana!
