Ava's Journal: June 3rd
Dear Journal,
It's been quite a while since I've opened you, sat down and wrote down. Not much has changed but at the same time, quite a lot will be changing. It's a bit of a paradox, isn't it? The beginning of the summer is starting and with a change in the season, it means a change in the homes. In other words, old fosters are out and new fosters are in.
The current fosters, Judy & Phillip, were offered the papers, just like any other foster in the past. But of course, just like the previous fosters, they weren't 'interested' in adoption. In other words, I wasn't the perfect, angel child they were searching for.
In all those movies about the poor orphan child, Annie, Meet The Robinsons, the orphaned child seems to be some spectacular, perfect person who just woos everyone, including their soon-to-be parents. Me? Not so much. I more, or less, is completely and utterly awful at first, second and not to mention, third impressions.
And the whole factor of I am seventeen, slightly edgy and I shut people out doesn't really add to my situation either.
But here I am, once again, in the same foster cycle. In about two days, I'll be packing up my things (not many things, let's be real) and heading to another foster house and then after that, another one, and another one. The cycle continues and continues. Luckily for me, I just have one more year till I'm legal and free to be as I choose.
And me being free means being as far as I can from the dreaded state of Connecticut as possible.
With love,
Ava Adams
