Foster-care Stories

Serenity has spent nineteen years surviving on her own. No family. No safety net. No reason to trust anyone. Then a school DNA project changes everything. Billionaire lawyer Damian Blackwood discovers he has a daughter he never knew existed, and suddenly Serenity finds herself thrown into a world of luxury, family dinners, and people who care a little too much. She doesn't want a father. She definitely doesn't want siblings. And she absolutely doesn't want to live in a giant mansion with people who keep trying to love her. Unfortunately, nobody seems interested in her opinion. Between an overprotective family, a ridiculously handsome family friend, and a past that refuses to stay buried, Serenity is about to learn that sometimes the hardest thing isn't surviving alone. It's letting people stay.

When a social worker uncovers the oversight that kept her in foster care, she's sent back to the father who lost her through a bureaucratic error, and the four brothers who never stopped missing her. But returning doesn't erase abandonment. Sadie is furious. Her brothers are relieved but resentful. And her father carries a guilt that threatens to break them all. Home is a battlefield of memories and unspoken blame, and forgiveness is not guaranteed. Yet beneath the anger lies love, waiting-unsteady, uncertain, but still alive. Healing takes time. Trust takes longer. But after everything, Sadie may finally learn what it means to be wanted.

Carla Connor never pictured herself as a motherly type. That all changed when a blonde haired foster kid crash landed in her life in an unexpected way. Follow Carla through the years as she balances being a business woman, local 'Ice Queen' and more importantly, a mother.

Safiya is fifteen, her little brother Callan is nine. After years filled with violence, fear, and manipulation within their family, the two children are rescued from their home - but at first, the rescue doesn't feel like freedom. They go through several foster families, each time facing new rules, expectations, and disappointments. Only their bond with each other gives them strength. Safiya lives in a world between reality and fantasy. When the fear becomes too overwhelming, she escapes in her mind into a fanfiction where she is the main character - braver, more confident, seen. But when she and Callan eventually come under the care of Lin-Manuel Miranda and his family, something begins that Safiya never thought possible: trust. While Callan quickly opens up and begins to feel at home, Safiya struggles with guilt, jealousy, and the deep longing to finally stop living in constant fear. She must learn that true family is more than blood, that closeness isn't always dangerous, and that sometimes it's okay not to be strong.

Dani's been through a lot in the sixteen years that she's been alive, she has a lot that she's hiding inside herself. The only way she knows how to cope with all that she's gone through is to smile and act as if she's okay with every thing, but as her past comes back and threatens her future, she's finding it harder to keep all those emotions she hasn't been allowing her self to feel, locked away. She feels like she's on the verge of breaking. She's no longer the person she used to be, she's no longer that scared kid, she's strong and this time she isn't going to let anyone take away the happiness that she's finally found. With so much in her life changing though, she's scared that everything she's has now, and the stability she thought she had will disappear. She's even more afraid that she might be the cause for it's disappearance.

That is, until an unexpected visit from Michael Jackson turns her carefully controlled world upside down. Drawn into a life she never imagined, Y/N is forced to confront the walls she has built around her heart. But can she learn to trust again, to be vulnerable, and to accept love - especially when it comes from the most famous man in the world? Or will her past prove too powerful to let her fall for him?

This story has been removed from Wattpad. An edited and revised version is now available on Kindle. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0H3WK79XZ Thank you! Blurb: Melody and Micah Whitley have built a life together in the small town of Valley Falls. They fell in love in college, where Micah was a star baseball pitcher-until a shoulder injury ended his dreams of the major leagues. Melody is used to standing beside the people she loves, adjusting when plans change. She and her sister grew up in foster care, and when Dana passed away, Melody stepped into motherhood when they adopted her niece, Daisy. When Micah agrees to help his childhood friend's sister, Audra, and her young son, Ben, he sees it as an opportunity to pay back an old debt. Micah invests deeply in Ben's life, but as his attention shifts, Melody and Daisy are pushed aside, and the marriage begins to strain under the weight of unspoken grief, unmet needs, and blurred boundaries. Note: There are mentions of infertility, adoption, foster care, grief, addiction/self-harm and death of a non-main character. There is no physical cheating, but there is some OW drama and emotional betrayal/infidelity. Christian and faith themes woven throughout.

Some stories begin with "Once upon a time." Mine began with survival. I grew up in moving between homes, foster care, schools, and versions of myself I thought people needed me to be. Along the way, there was heartbreak, shame, grief, and choices I never imagined I'd make. But there was also laughter. Freshly baked bread at my Nan's house. Unexpected kindness. People who loved me without conditions. And the quiet, stubborn hope that life could become more than what happened to me. This is a story about trauma, resilience, and finding your way home-even if home is something you have to build yourself. Trigger warnings: discussions of childhood trauma, foster care, grief, mental health struggles, and adult themes.

umm... For some reason I really like the shows Danger Force and Victorious, but I haven't found any crossovers between them. So... I'm gonna do my own! (Actual descriptions a few lines below) Letting you know, I have no idea where this is headed, so please don't judge. Also, I'm writing my first fan-fiction so there might be some grammar mistakes. Again, please don't judge. The first two chapters are at different times than the rest, so please pay attention to the dates! Ok this is the actual description... In this story, the Danger Force identities are known. Although these kids are superheros, they are also crazy talented. Mika is great at costume design and makeup. Miles is great with lighting and sound. Bose is great at dancing. And Chapa has the voice of an angel, and she is great at acting. So, when Ray decides that it is time for the kids to go to a regular school, they choose to audition for Hollywood Arts (the school that the Victorious gang goes to). They all get in. However, because everyone knows their identities, they are overwhelmed with people trying to be their friends. When they try and escape the chaos, they end up meeting the Victorious crew. They hit it off well. However, Chapa is hiding something. From everyone, even the Danger Force kids. Jade is the only one who notices, and she tries to get Chapa to open up about it. Will Jade be able to do this? OR will Chapa keep her secrets locked up forever?
