Today I received a file of documents from the beginning of my foster care history. The files state the acute stay amounts I was in during my early life. Directly after it states I had been admitted 9 times it goes on to describe my mother's drug history. After this part of my life I had another stay in the psychiatric hospital around 2001 that lasted 10 months. While in there my mother was arrested for drug charges and I had nowhere to live. The hospital kept me until Social Services worked out a foster home for me and then the foster home journey began until I was 13-14. I was adopted at 14 and I feel very lucky to have been.
