#agingout

Hello.

I'm a former aged out foster kid. Aging out means when you become of age(18, 19, or 21) the system kicks you out. You're no longer dependant on them. They're no longer legally responsible for you. I created this blog to share things, connect, and write about things that are on my mind. I don't like sharing my foster care experiences in real life. Most of my friends don't know. I would like to keep it that way. I hope people can understand the life of a foster kid isn't fun or pretty. It's really hard and sad. Also, I am BAF(Black as fuck) This is a pro-black page. White tears are not allowed here unless I’m thirsty. Being Black is hard and we will always be seen as less than.

Meet Mitchel~ AGING OUT SOON!!!

Mitchell’s volunteers describe him as a “good kid.” He’s outgoing, funny, loving, kind, generous, considerate, and versatile. He was the one who calmed down the other kids when they were crying or upset, served people around his table while eating, and shared what he had with other kids. He is easy to get along with and everyone at camp loves him.

Mitchell likes singing, dancing, swimming, and art. He is curious about the world and always willing to learn something new. Like most teenage boys, his favorite part of the day was mealtime!

Mitchell is diagnosed with Encephalatrophy, or “atrophy of the brain.” However, his volunteers see him as a “pretty normal kid.” He is capable of taking care of himself very well, although he does struggle using his right hand. He has never been offered an education, so he still has much he could learn.

Everyone agrees that Mitchell would THRIVE in a family. His chance to be adopted will end in April 2019. Please consider bringing this precious boy home or get the news out!
