Months later the second family we met at Denny's. The Dad was a creepy pastor and they were fake perfect. Creepy vibes I said no and went back to the group home.

Me and another kid ran away from the group home on Halloween so it would be hard to find us.

Long story short I told my social services rep I'd run away again unless I had a normal home to live in. A week later we found awesome foster parents in a huge house on land next to a small farm and lived there for years until I was 17.

Those first two foster homes? Registered sex offenders now with multiple child abuse sex offense convictions.

The foster care system is broken.
