Soon after, I moved to (yet) another foster home and then yet another. At the last home, a very warm lady welcomed me. She was what I imagined a mother would be. Eventually, I was adopted. One last change of home. Although the changes were hard to cope with, life was fun at my various homes. This is my story.
