Most of these children in foster care, ranging from two to fourteen, have to leave home because of neglect and trauma that had happened to them previously.

For many years, foster care has been a difficult subject throughout our society. When the idea of foster care comes to mind, many immediately think of screaming children, distressed parenting and uphill battles. Before foster care existed in the United States, orphaned children were sent to orphanages. While these institutions were often the best option available to children with nowhere else to go, they often lacked the necessary staff, structure and resources to adequately care for all of the children in need. As a result, some orphanages were overcrowded, and children lived in poor conditions. Some children even died due to the lack of sufficient care (Adoptions, 2017).

Hyperemesis Gravidarum - the diagnosis I have now heard three times. But this time, the circumstances were a bit different. Just a few short months ago, my husband and I made the decision to have my tubal ligation reversed. We had previously talked about the possibility of having more children and knew the challenges we were likely to face. But it wasn 't until my diagnosis that it became a reality that it was no longer on my time.

In the United States less than thirty years after the founding of the Jamestown Colony, Benjamin Eaton became this nation’s first foster child. In the 1850’s Charles Loring Brace a minister and directory of the New York Children’s Aid Society decided to establish a plan to care for the overwhelming population of immigrant children that were homeless by reaching out to people in the South and West who might be willing to provide homes for these children. Thus began the foster care movement; at first the children were in situations where they became indentured servants to the families.

Today, our society has created a foster care system taking children and putting them in better homes until reunited with biological parents or adopted. This system has become so elaborate that it’s not uncommon for the average person to know someone who was in foster care or who was adopted. For this reason, adoption and fostering are terms that have become very commonplace in our society today. However, consider the following four examples, unique each in their own right, and yet all profoundly changed by a simple openness to life.

There are more teenagers having babies with no guidance or direction in their lives today. I know being pregnant at 17 for me was the scariest moment of me being a teenager.
