My life is not a secret

My backgroundAs many of you know, Ive been in the foster care system since i was nine years old and to me it wasnt a big deal, yea I grew up, was raised by other families, families I have learned to like, hate and love. And was raised in an Academy for foster youth like a boarding school in high school. Ive learned to adapt and be happy where im at because of where i have been. I loved the fact that I was raised by different people with different ethnic and racial backgrounds, it makes me accept everyone as human beings and like them or dislike them for whom they are not by the way they look and where they came from. Being a former foster youth has brought me so many opportunities, one of them is the fact that it has helped me do what im doing now.. go to college, study abroad, etc.. Im happy of where ive come from and im happy where im heading.

Ive alwas wanted a dad, its no secret, my social worker has said that i get attached to guys easily because ive wanted a male in my life to take place of the love i would have had for my dad. i considered my foster dad mr. ken my dad throughout high school although i havent talked to him in a while. I want him to walk me down the isle if and when I get married one day. A great guy who he approves of course has to be found first. im sharing this because my life has no secrets. i chose the host family program here in puntarenas because ive lived on my own, ive had roommates and although ive had many families, none of them have consisted of a dad for a long time. and to be honest this third homestay is the charm! i have met a great father figure here, he is a hard worker, an awesome cook, extremely nice, etc.. he is great! im 22 now so i know he wont be my dad but he is a great male role model.
