Introduction
"No I'm not coming." "Mary where else will you go?" I was waiting for my parents to say i could stay. I wouldn't have to move across the country. I could live with my grandparents or move in with Ellie my best friend. I'd had a hard enough life already moving over 2,000 miles away would just make it worse.
I was adopted at age 5.Then my foster parents abandoned my brother and me. We were left wandering the streets of West Virginia. When we were found we were adopted 2 days later. i have lived wih them for 10 years. They're my family now.My brother died at age seven. we have lived in the same house for the entire 10 years. Now we're moving to California.
