A Criminal Case

6/16/2015

Welcome back to Taylor Talks!

Did you know that there is always a trial in family court when a child is put into foster care? It makes sense, right? I'm pretty sure that I've written before about a judge deciding if a child stays in foster care, but there's more to it than that. Plus, there can sometimes be a criminal trial as well.

Welcome back to Taylor Talks!

Today, I was thinking about the idea of wanting to know where you come from. It was a special day in our family; the birthday of a man who I called my grandfather, even though we weren't technically related, and my grandma's birthday as well.

Welcome back to Taylor Talks!

My mom and I were talking last night about possible topics to cover in blog posts. I created this whole list of things that I want to talk about at some point, because some nights I'm just not sure what I want to cover. So tonight, I thought I would take something from that list, and talk about when a child is first placed in your home.

Welcome back to Taylor Talks!

When you have a family that's made up of adopted children, family history can be a difficult thing. You all come from different backgrounds, and everyone's genetic make-up is very different.

When you think of abuse, what comes to mind? Pictures of children covered in bruises? Broken bones and tear-streaked faces?

Welcome back to Taylor Talks!

Not all foster care cases end in adoption or the child going back to the biological parents. Sometimes, the child ends up being put into the care of another family member, such as an aunt or grandparent.

Welcome back to Taylor Talks!

No, we didn't get a new kid... sorry to disappoint! But I did want to talk about what happens when we do find out that we're getting a new kid.

About

My family started doing foster care when I was three years old. We took in nineteen children over the course of eighteen years, with our last placement leaving in December 2014. I'm the only biological child in my family, though my parents adopted five of my siblings.

I love to share my perspective on the foster care system and share how my unique upbringing shaped my life.

I'm also a Cast Member at Walt Disney World and lover of all things Disney! My career allows me the opportunity to find a little bit of Magic in life every day.

I enjoy sharing my journey as a writer as well. Find my children's books on Amazon and keep following my blog for updates on future books that I'll be releasing!
