Tell us about a time when you felt out of place.

[ There Have Been Many Times When I Have Felt Out Of Place, Or Out Of My Element ]

[ The Earliest Times When I Had Felt Out Of Place, Was Each Time I Was Moved To Another Foster Home ]

[ I Was Not Quite (3) Years Old When My Sister & I Were Moved Into The First Foster Home ]

[ About Every (18) Months We Were Moved ]

[ When You Get There You Do Not Know A Single Thing About What You Can Or Can’t Do, Where You Are, Who Is In The House, What Do You Call Them, Where To Go, What The Daily Or Nightly Schedule Is, etc … ]

[ You Are Scared, Worried, Angry & A Number Of More Emotions ]

[ We Did Not Have Any Family In Oregon After Our Dad Shot Himself In The Head ]

[ So I Could Just Imagine That We Were A Tiny Bit Traumatized Since He Did It In The Home ]
