A Place to Call Home: The Story of Foster Care
Mia is a curious 7-year-old girl living in Columbus. She faces many obstacles as she navigates the foster care system, but with the help of new friends and kind foster parents, she discovers the true meaning of charity and finds a place to call home.
Mia lived in Columbus, Ohio. She had brown, curly hair that reached her shoulders and a curious nature. One day, she learned she would be placed in foster care. She felt scared and unsure about what would happen next. Mia wondered if she would ever find a place to call home.
Mia arrived at her first foster home. The house was big, with a bright red door. But Mia felt out of place. She missed her old home and felt lonely. She didn't know if she could trust anyone here.
At dinner, Mia barely spoke. Her foster mom, Mrs. Johnson, tried to make her feel welcome. - How was your day, Mia? Mrs. Johnson asked. Mia just shrugged and looked at her plate. She felt like she didn't belong.
Mia went to her room and started crying. - I just want to go home, she whispered to herself. She felt like no one understood her. The next day at school, she sat alone at lunch. - Can I sit here? a girl named Emma asked. Mia nodded, but didn't say anything.
Days passed, and Emma kept sitting with Mia at lunch. - Do you want to play after school? Emma asked one day. - I don't know, Mia replied. She was afraid to make friends and lose them again. But Emma was kind and patient.
One afternoon, Mia decided she couldn't take it anymore. - I give up, she told herself. - I'll never feel at home here. She packed a small bag and planned to run away. But as she opened the door, Mrs. Johnson saw her. - Where are you going, Mia? she asked gently.
Mia froze. - I just want to go home, she said with tears in her eyes. Mrs. Johnson knelt down and hugged her. - This is your home now, Mia. We're here to help you. You don't have to be alone. In that moment, Mia felt a warmth she hadn't felt before. She decided to stay and try again.
With the support of Mrs. Johnson and her new friend Emma, Mia started to feel more at home. She joined a school club and even invited Emma over to play. Mia learned that home is not just a place, but the people who care about you. She finally felt like she belonged.
