I expect, but for a very few, the reponse you get in this ng will be
to refute your claims to good foster parenting based on yours being an
exceptional case.
What is exceptional about your case is that you are reporting the
truth about it. Most children in the foster care system don't grow up
to write about it, except to give testamony if they were harmed.
The ones that truly benefited are busy living their lives.
You are brave to come here. I hope your book has huge sales and you
profit well by it. Post to the websites for foster parents if you have
not already.
Best of luck,
Kane
