As always you hit another target right in the bullseye with this Blog.

As my children grew up and out of the nest. I didn’t realize that they would have a harder time adjusting than the so called “Normal” kid from an American family.

To this day they struggle. However I do think some of it is because they want a free ride and will live on anyones couch who will let them. The boys do not work. They have lost all their I.D. so with no birth certificate and no social security card. It is hard to find a job even at McDonalds or Burger King.

My husband gets mad at me because I keep helping them try and put their lives on track. Of course even helping them get new I.D. and job applications can’t help if they go in and flunk the interview.

I sincerely think that good independant living programs are needed for all foster children to advance into the world.

Hugs,
Shar

I have received many positive comments from readers — many had never given a thought to what happened to foster kids when they graduate from high school or are emancipated.

So glad to have found this site. May I link it to mine?
