Fostered

By Vanessa Marie

Here we go again. 
A new set of foster parents to make my life a living hell. 
What number is this? Oh, that’s right, fourteen. 
This dump will be no different than any of the rest. 
They don’t care about me. No one does. 
I wonder what it’ll take to get me kicked out this time.
Only six months left until I age out of this godforsaken system…
Everyone wants to adopt little babies they can mold into replicas of themselves. 
No one wants a seventeen-year-old black kid with a rap sheet. 
I’m damaged goods.
An easy paycheck. 
I know there’s an ulterior motive here.
There has to be.
There always is…

Disclaimer: As the mom of a thirteen-year-old, I feel I should note Fostered contains mild depictions that allude to neglect and abuse in the form of domestic violence, sexual assault, and verbal abuse. While the descriptions, detail, and manner are minimal, I wanted to be upfront about the material to give you a chance to discuss these things with your child if you find it suitable. If any of this material is a trigger, please be advised.

Vanessa Marie

Always dancing to the beat of her own drum, Vanessa is a heavily tattooed, sarcastic, motorcycle enthusiast who started her career as a ASE Certified Jeep technician at the age of sixteen. Her obsessions of watching Turkish dizi TV shows, or yelling at an NHL game (GO VGK) while reading simultaneously often battle her family.  At the age of 26 and becoming a pacemaker recipient—she decided the over 60 crowd was more her scene and learned to knit. She lives in Kentucky (by way of Las Vegas) with her family and crazy cats.
