Hello my name is Joy and this blog is about adoption. I know allot about adoption because I was in and out of foster care sense I was two years old.It started with my real mother she was mentally sick and could not take care of us at the time. before I was adopted my real father wanted me back but the courts told him no and my mom rights were given up. The Bishop family adopted me when I was ten years old. when I was going to school in Fife lake I was very shy and really didn't hang out with anyone because I was afraid to make friends. At the time I was not sure if I was going to stay for every long because I didn't know that adoption meant forever and that I had a new family. I have a half sister who went back too her real dad but she end up in foster care to because her dad was abusive. thought the years I recently learned that I have other half brothers and sisters that I have not meet that my dad had with his second wife and I hoping to find them.
