How sad it is for some kids! My daughter has an open house policy for her boys so there are always kids staying over. One boy stayed and stayed and finally she asked him what his plans were. He said he would love to stay and after finding out some very sad facts, she and her husband took him in. He never had a real home, was bounced around to foster home and foster home and now that he is 16, is happy as a clam and loving the rules and regulations imposed on all her boys. She now has 4 teenagers living at home and he gives her less grief than her own with their teen age angst and moaning. I just finished a quilt for him and cannot wait to give it to him. He is a fine boy who was raised in the most awful circumstances and is so very grateful for a stable and loving home. Everyone wins in this situation. Hope the story continues to a happy ending. Sometimes it takes a stranger to show the family what real love is. You just never know who will go through your door and touch your heart.
