My dad and I went hunting almost every weekend of the youth…

Not only was I overwhelmed with sadness from the loss of my grandparents, but now I was without my parents. I went my sophomore year going back and forth between my house and my parent’s house on weekends while my junior and senior year I would only see my parents on holidays and birthdays. It was very difficult to…

In one instance around four thirty I saw a car being driven by a male who appeared to be 20-25 waiting to turn…

    With my heart about to beat out of my chest, I make my way down the long narrow hallway that takes me to the courtroom where my family is waiting . I remember seeing all of the yellow caution wet signs scattered down the hall, letting people know that they had just finished mopping the smooth white floors. As I stand in front of the tall wooden doors that separate me from the court room, I cant help but wonder what all could go wrong. Does my step dad really want to adopt me? Will the judge…
