FOSTER FAMILY

Imogen Duffy

7th Grade • Covenant Classical School

Once upon a time in Mississippi, a boy named Greg grew up in a very privileged neighborhood. His parents were wealthy, so he never worried about the money aspect of life.

When Greg was 14 his parents lost their jobs, and were losing money by the second. His parents could not support him to take care of him anymore, and he was put into foster care. He was put in many different homes but never felt like he fit anywhere.

Greg turned 18, and he was taken out of foster care and left to the streets. After three months of being homeless, a woman from an organization that helps kids out of foster care find forever homes found him, and he was taken to the facility she was from.

Greg and the woman named Stacey became great friends, and everyone at the facility loved Greg. Greg felt that they were his family even though he had no family. Greg later got a job at the facility and worked to help other foster children find a home like he did.

Greg adopted 3 children and worked in the facility till retirement. Even though Greg’s biological family was gone his family was the facility, and the workers there who were so kind to him and let him become part of their community, will be forever remembered by Greg.
