Adoptions always confused me. I don't know why; I've been in the system for Thirteen years now and don't understand how someone can look at a kid and say - "I'll take them". Anyway, that happened to me two weeks ago. some random family who calls themselves 'the Swansons' decided they wanted a 16-year-old Australian to move in with them in Los Angeles. at first, I didn't want to, but soon I realised it's so much better than being here in this crowded foster home.
