Pure Family

"Hi my names Sydney. Im one of the kids here in foster care. I dont have anyone here that I actually know except mybrother. My brother is named Ricky. Hes not my biological brother but we feel like we are related."

"Yes Yes thats him the famous Ricky alright," the foster mom, Linda, said. 

"Ricky causes alot of trouble but hes a good student and football player." Jerry, the foster dad had replied. 

Me and Ricky overheard their conversation with one of the couples that wanted to adopt. It wouldnt make sense why theyd want to talk about Ricky, since he is going off to college. 

"We'd like to adopt Ricky. We think that we have enough money to provide a place and food to live. He would actually have a chance to go to college because you guys werent going to send him to college."

"Yeah its probably for the best, " Jerry and Linda said in sync. 

Both of us shouted "YIPEE!" because we were finally getting adopted. I have been in foster care for ten years since I was three.  Ricky is seventeen and has been there eleven years since he was eight. 

Jerry came into the next room to see what all the shouting and commotion was. 

"We're finally getting adopeted!" Ricky had said happily. 

Jerry replied, "No no. Only you Ricky, they only want you." 

I screamed and said "But Ricky and I do everything together,

"Yeah im not going to leave her behind." 

Just then Linda came and said that theyll sign the papers in a week.  Linda was happy that Ricky could finally have his dream, "college." 

Later that night we were in bed. I tried to bring up the adoption but Ricky scolded me. That was the first time he ever yelled at me...
