wellstone dem

I think I and my brother was very lucky with our foster parents - we could have ended up a whole different familiy - who might have given us up when we was just kids - becouse we was kind of a shallenge to the "normal" kids they have encontered before... And they had to fight hard, to get us what we kind of was in need of too.... But they gave us not up - in fact when the shallenge was there, they took it head on - and used their common sense, and some deep reading about how the law was, and was fighting so we could get help... But then we had foster parents who have had a few kids on their own - and who did know parenting.... And I guess we managed well, as we have grown to at least pepole who is able to make our own in life for the most part..
