Welcome!

Picture
Taylor Talks began on July 29, 2014 as a way for me to discuss foster care. I had been thinking about the fact that I was the only person I knew who was part of a foster family. I have five siblings who were adopted through foster care, and I've had nineteen foster siblings in total; weren't there any other families like mine?

Before starting Taylor Talks, I looked online to see if there were any websites where I could talk to other biological siblings who were part of a foster family. I couldn't find anything like what I was looking for. I just wanted to be able to connect with someone else who was in my position, but I couldn't find any websites or chat rooms to do so. I decided that I should create a place where I could discuss foster care, and hopefully members of other foster families would eventually find me in the cyber world.

As an aspiring author, I also thought that writing a blog would help me with my craft. It would give me a reason to write, give me something to do beyond homework or watching television. When I suffered from writer's block while working on my novel, I thought that I'd be able to turn to this blog and write about something I really knew instead. I never expected to write daily blog posts for two years, or that I would eventually have more than 150,000 page views, or more than 20,000 daily visitors to the site, over the course of those two years.

Taylor Talks has changed from what it was intended to be at the beginning; I no longer blog solely about foster care or adoption, but the theme of family is certainly present throughout all of my writing. I have finished a novel, published a children's book, and am on the road to accomplishing much more in my writing endeavors. I've even graduated college and moved to a new state. So much has occurred over the past two years, and I have grown immensely since July 29, 2014, and I believe that this blog has been a huge part of that.
