I think that I thought the only plan a kid could have was the American Dream. You know, Mother, father, three kids, a house, 2 cars, a dog and a cat. Well, it just wasn’t working out that way with so many of us that it is better to just adjust the plan to something a little more to our want and our ability. I’m in an Adult Foster Care home now and they are my family. There are some really stressful times here but the environment is good enough that I am nourished by it and growing as a person.

When my son was little, I used to tell him that there are no rules to this life other than to not hurt yourself or anyone else. I told him that some people like getting married, having 2.5 kids, a big house, golden retriever and a SUV, but that those things weren’t required. I wanted him to know that his life was his choice. I’m glad I did that too because he’s a free spirit now and confidently makes his life what he wants it to be.
