I always have a soft spot for kids who are in foster care because I used to be in foster care when I was growing up.

Oh really? Why were you put into foster care? Was it arranged through the government or a social service agency?

It was done through a social service agency. My childhood was not that great and I was placed into a home with a caregiver who did not really care.

I'm sorry to hear that! Did you not have a grandparent or other relative that you could've lived with?

No I did not and the sad thing about that is a foster parent has the opportunity to make a difference in a child's life and be a source of inspiration and encouragement but some are in it just for the money.

Man that's messed up. We're you with a man or woman? Until the early 20th century, the system was largely run by women.

Mine was a woman and I became her "maid". I disliked her so much because she was so unkind to me. I felt like I was not a person but an object and she smoked like a chimney.
