I have had experience with being in foster care and then getting adopted because I was adopted when I was 4 years old and was abused by my first adoptive family and then came into foster care when I was 7 yrs. Old and got adopted by the same family at 10 yrs. Old. Before I came into the family that I was adopted by I was staying at a residential treatment facility or in other words an RTF, this place was called Kids Peace. It was a dirty place and it had some fun things to do but no freedom was allowed. When I say that there was no freedom I mean that you could not go anywhere outside of the place without permission. Any ways my life is pretty good even though I get into trouble at times and may get really mad at my parents I still love my adoptive family and always will. In my family I have 3 older sisters, about 4 older brothers,  my mom,  and as I call him pop, and I have 2 dogs and my cat was just recently put down but I still pretend that she is still there at times. Also in my family I have 2 nieces one is a year old and the other is going to be a year old in October and a niece or nephew on the way. Also if I could choose between my family now and my first adoptive family I would chose this family because they love me no matter what.
