I'll be 18 in less than 4 months and even though there's a chance I'll probably be homeless when I age out, I don't even care. My foster parents fucking suck. They have never once made me feel like they fostered me because they wanted to or cared. No. Its a white savior thing. It's white people trying to look good for fostering a minority. Not all white people do this so please don't take it that way. I'm Mexican. They do not allow me to speak Spanish, even if its over the phone to my friends. They don't allow me to talk about Mexico or my culture. They have pretty much tried to erase everything that has to do with my culture. They have another foster child. My foster sister is 7 and she's black. I don't think its wrong to adopt or foster outside of your race. Everyone needs love, and maybe your forever home is outside of your race. But why would a white person foster a black child if they aren't even going to bother to learn how to maintain their hair?! They made my foster sister cut off her hair because they didn't want to learn how to do it. That destroyed her so much because she had a lot of hair and to just have it cut off like that because they didn't care to learn how to do it. I was on YouTube and I ran across a YouTuber, I think her name was Christy who had adopted black kids and she talked about how she does her daughters hair and how she had to learn how to do it properly. It just made me feel even worse for my foster sister because there are obviously people out there who are willing to learn and we just got shit luck and put with people who want to show off our minority. I have never felt like I belonged in this house. I feel like I'm some trophy they are showing off to make themselves look good, all while they are trying to erase my culture from me. I'm just ready to get out of this house. Like I said, its not all white people. One of my old foster sisters is being adopted by a white family and she's Mexican like me and they are learning Spanish from her. I just didn't get lucky I guess...
