Beau has had 14 Foster kids through his home over the past 20 years, mainly teen boys, as Beau is an awesome example of what a hard-working, successful, caring, compassionate MAN should be. (I’m not biased, of course!)
Anyhow, of those 14 kids, one of the boys is a semi-success; he only calls about once a year for money at this point. He’s in his 30’s and works menial jobs and will for life.
A good half of the other boys are in prison, or dead from drug use, or fatal car accidents.
The only girl that made it through high school is now also in her 30’s and is on Baby #3 with Baby Daddy #3. She has been given EVERY opportunity you could imagine; squandered them all.
The home lives these kids came from in the first place is what sets the tone. Hardly any of them make it out alive, or end up being self-supporting and productive in any way, shape or form. And that’s with a LOT of help and opportunities and guidance on how one SHOULD live their life and being held to task along the way.
Yep. Dems have done a GREAT job destroying the American Family and making people dependent upon Mother Government. Sure wish our side could find a way to reverse that and make every person a success.
Most days, I fear it’s a lost cause.
Who is Beau? I would assume it’s your husband, but you say “through HIS home...”
This foster care thing (I have no experience) sounds like a nightmare. I can’t imagine involving my life with so many people who come to such ends. It would break my heart, and that’s a term I don’t believe I’ve ever used.
