Her trauma was something I knew about from a young age; one of the earliest books she bought me was about a young girl who was molested. She told me time and again about how so many people didn’t believe her, how she had no one to turn to when she needed it the most. Never trust

Monique would drop Zander and Kaka off at the park by themselves (this happens a lot). A person who knows the father would get the kids from the park and take them to get food. Sometimes, the person would keep the children for a few days. Monique will not know of the children whereabouts, and will go looking for the kids a couple of days later. Monique would be called by others, but she does not answer her

This example of a family’s interesting dynamics that come about can be seen in a show called, “The Fosters.” In this show, the Foster family lives in San Diego where Stef Foster and Lena Adams (in later seasons being Lena Adams-Foster) parent five children, four of them being foster children and one coming from a previous marriage. The children’s names are Brandon (17yrs old), who is the oldest, Mariana (16) and Jesus (16), who are twins that were adopted after Stef and Lena got together, and Callie (17) and Jude (13) who are siblings that both got adopted.

On May 7, 2011, a young man named Tom Bridegroom fell to his death from a rooftop, leaving behind his devastated partner of six years, Shane Bitney Crone. Tom’s family had never accepted his relationship with Shane; in fact, members of Tom’s family attacked and threatened him when he told them he was gay. Because Shane and Tom could not legally marry, Shane was not entitled to any information regarding Tom’s death, memorial service, or burial arrangements (Crone). Tom’s family was able to move Tom’s body without notifying Shane, to keep Shane away from the memorial service, and to remove from Tom and Shane’s shared home any personal belongings that Tom’s family determined had belonged to Tom.

Replacing loved ones, flowers and peacefulness, lawyers, paperwork and stress consumed 35-year old Lorraine Griepp as she lay in a hospital bed fighting stage four cancer. With a short month of notice, the realization that past laws that prevented same- sex couples to both become legal guardians while adopting, would cause Lorraine's child of three years to end up parentless.

The Lindsay family is a total of five: Chris, Kristy, Christopher, Gabrielle, and Zoi. They have faced several deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan. Also, the father, Chris, has recently arrived back to his family, and unfortunately found out he has posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). PTSD is a disorder that develops when people have experienced a traumatic event. Mr. Lindsay (2017) stated, “I sometimes relive the moments that my friends have passed right in front of me.” While sitting there listening, it was heartbreaking. In the life of someone with PTSD, they tend to be on edge quite a bit. Chris has left birthday parties immediately because a balloon popped. Also, when his children are being really loud he calmly tells them to settle down, and sits out side until he is ready to return. Although he has coped efficiently with this disorder, many PTSD victims cope with their disorder with alcohol, drugs, and abuse. However, I will say that this family has coped really well with this situation. Also, another big difference is that they have a smaller family than mine, but they want it to grow. So, therefore, there are a lot of differences between the Lindsay family and my family.
