babies

i should be doing laundry right now. instead i'm here. i was online trying to see how to go about locating foster parents. i don't remember the time i spent in foster care, but i've always been a bit curious about the couple that cared for my sister and i.

i have 3 older sisters that were in foster care as well. the older two were in one home and we younger two were together in another. from what i understand it was only six or eight months, but it was when i was about a year old. eventually my dad got custody of us and we lived with him from then on. it makes me really sad when one of my older sisters talks about the home they were in. it sounded pretty bad. i'm pretty fortunate to have been so young, and therefore unable to remember it.

the people that cared for me and my sister did something for which i've always been grateful. they got our portraits done. there aren't any baby pictures of me but these. they must've really liked us if they went to all that trouble. i'd kindof like to meet them but i don't really know how to go about finding them. the google search i did made me realize how difficult a 29-year-old search would be for someone who's name i don't know that lives in another state, if even the same state they lived in when they cared for us. maybe this will be one of those things i always just wonder about.

enough about that. i have laundry to do.
