Some children are blessed and have been living in a safe home since the day they were born. While others dont get the same opportunity, but instead something similar, such as foster care. For instance, Anthony went the longest time without being adopted; he was in foster care from age 9 all the way up to high school without having a permanent home. But the funny thing is that he preferred it that way.Hes used Forrest Gumps famous line, Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what youre gonna get, to explain that he would rather have kept on having new adventures in foster care than stay somewhere forever (Gonzalez). This demonstrates that foster care is a system for children that provides them with food, nutrition, and the necessary items they need for survival because of the difficult circumstance they had prior in their life. Additionally, in Phoenix, Arizona a young boy named Michael was in the foster care system for 832 days. When Michael spent so much time in a caring place such as foster care and finally got adopted because of that he felt ebullient and beamful (Mulroy).
Through this, it shows that foster care provides a way for children to e
ventually get adopted by a family and put them in a safe and loving home. If it wasnt for foster care a lot of children from infants to 8 years old mightve never gotten a family to call their own. Furthermore, Simone Biles, an Olympic medalist created a drive program for foster care children specifically which provided them with mattresses. Simone wants to keep the organizationΒs mission going by providing more hope and encouragement toward foster care children so they can reach their goals (Williams). Simones kind act of helping foster care children get a place to sleep shows there are organizations that help out foster care so the children there get a place to rest every night. Through all of this, foster care is able to open a door after another has been closed for a child, and it gives them a chance of opportunity in the world as well as people who go out of their way to help those in foster care all contribute to love being a dominant factor than hate in the world today. For many adolescents, adoption doesnt mean much since weve never experienced it first hand, though to a child being adopted, it means the world and even brings them a lifetime of joy.
