I was also beaten by random girls
for no reason, put into a dumpster, tied up in an abandoned rv by some sick
teens who thought that was funny, almost raped by a man while walking down the street at the
age of 17 but because I screamed he only made me jack him off (at knife point), almost raped at a friend of a friend's house when we just dropped in
for a minute, was impovershed growing up, even to the point where we didn't have power in the middle of winter, had to sleep all in the same bed to stay warm and used our pantry as a refrigerator, lived (and I mean LIVED) with roaches
for years no matter where we moved to, was a child during the time when we had our own civil
rights movement here and went through a few horrible experiences at the time.
For new parents with little ones (0 - 2 years of
age) or
teens, hosting a large family gathering to celebrate the adoption of your child might be something that you do
right away.
