"Nobody wants the older kids" North has been in five foster homes in just one year, mostly because it was her fault. Her two younger brothers, Asher and Oliver, always beside her. That's when the Thompson's decided to adopt but life isn't going to as easy as it seems. A/N Whenever I write stories I try to do my research before hand so I try to make it as realistic as possible. No I do not know about adoption or a life of a kid from first hand so I may get some things wrong. While not every foster/adopted kid is like North, Asher, or Ollie, it's still to help bring awareness to the situation that is affecting our world. North's character is definitely dramatized for plot or story development obviously... so I'm aware of that. Anyways please enjoy :) *sorry in advance for any typos and grammar*
