Foster mom forces 19-year-old daughter to move out of her room to clear up space for new foster kids, daughter refuses to cooperate: ‘There’s no way you’re serious’

I wouldn’t name my kid Hunter, Dallas, …

There is something extremely nefarious about fostering young children for the explicit purpose of growing your family.

Being a foster kid isn’t easy. Unless you get really lucky, there is a high likelihood you will spend a lot of your childhood bouncing between homes without the level of care that you deserve.
