Hon,
I rather be with where you are if I was you. I have been to fostercare and let me you tell you something it was NO fun and the couple were mean, they favored certain kids, they ignore you and blame you for everything. I would stay where you are Hon, how old are you? Can you get a part time job, like baby sitting after school, work at a local grocery store or maybe volunteer at a daycare for a few hrs or maybe a nursing home for the elderly (I love with with them, they are so sweet), do you like doing crafts, I did that alot, it kept me sane and busy. Can you doa after school activitity? You can do a sport or maybe theatre, singing?? I hope this helps, 12 kids is a lot to take care of and Im sure they are doing there best....good luck, email me if you like, pattipoohbear63@yahoo.com (a friend) :o)

How old are you? Try telling them how you feel. Ask to spend time with just one parent and express your feeling neglected and need more attention. I think you should stick with your family 12 siblings is better than going to foster care and having nothing. You mentioned they feed you and give you shelter. Well getting away from your family may risk you having good shelter and food....many kids in the system are mistreated and end up in terrible places. goodluck and godbless

I'm adopted I had a hardish life first my birth mother died, then my dad went mental, and I was sent with my Grandparents they abandoned me, and at that point I felt like no one wanted me, I was 7. I thought that if they adopted me then why unadopt me...But after that I'm living happily with my 12 sisters.

Get out of there. Go to the school counselor and tell her everything. Most foster care programs are not all that bad. Try to find out where your father is and his family I bet one of them would love to have you. I know I would if you were my grandchild. Good luck sweetie and I will pray for you. Write back and let us all know your alright

if you are at the right age, you can leave your foster parents. but if your still aminor, im sure you'll be taken to a foster home.

Unless you're being abused (beaten and raped), don't try to leave. You'll be put in a foster home, and most foster children get abused. If you can find a good family on your own, they might be able to adopt you.

foster homes arent good places ..you will be bounced around from family to family and they only want that state check ,,not you. Take comfort in your sisters ..in big families sisters are the safe haven and all you really need. A mom would be nice but evidently your adoptive parents are overloaded. I was raised by my sisters because I too had a mom that died when I was 5 and dad lost it after that,..its a long road stay strong

Honey, in reality, most kids that aren't adopted are not always happy with the way things are. They have parents that don't pay enough attention or parents that pay too much attention. Something always seems wrong. I was raised by my parents who were both handicapped. I thought everyone else had a better life. Now, I am an adult. I know that my life was really ok. When I hear the real story of the people I envied, I found out that my life was good.

How old are you after a certain age it becomes more difficult to be adopted. I would think being in the foster system will be worse then where you are now. At least you have your sisters.

Love,
Michelle

it's sad that you are with a family that is not everything you want it to be but the reality is that most families are not going to be all that you want to be. you have siblings there that i assume care for you and that you care for. you have a safe place to live and food to eat. you are probably doing better than many many others are that are in your position. i can't imagine you would be any happier being bounced around in foster care. you have support where you are and you need to learn to use that to your advantage and to speak up and ask for what you need. perhaps the parents, busy as they are with all those kids, don't realize that you are unhappy about your relationship with them and i bet, due to the fact that they are giving you what they are, that they care about you more than you think they do and would love to help you any way they can. you do need to realize also that with all the responsibilities they do have it won't be possible for them to give you the attention that you would get in a smaller family. no families are perfect and you will never find another family like your first family. sorry for your loss and i hope that you find peace within yourself so that you can enjoy the things that you do have.

you can go to CPS and let them know you don't think you are being treated the way you should be. But then they will most likely just place you in Foster care, and that wont be any fun either.
