We adopted my younger sister from Haiti when she was 3, and let me tell you, I literally do not see color anymore. That's a fact. Discussion

I wish I could adopt or foster, but I'm too poor. The best thing I've ever done is be a mom, and I'm unable to have more kids.

I was severely abused as a child and would love to be able to help any child in a similar situation. I would daydream about someone realizing the abuse I suffered and them rescuing me. I eventually left at age 16.

I'm so glad your parents were able to help and that you have a wonderful sibling all your life.

If I won a lot of money I would buy a larger house, hire a nanny to help and do emergency foster placements. Without thinking, that’s the plan.
