.... act different that people we are used to being around. However they still need to be treated with kindness and respect. People are disabled in many different ways. They have disabilities that are physical and or mental. Physical disabilities are really sad because others can see that the person is disabled so they automatically treat them bad.

My ex-boyfriend and I started dating when I was fourteen years old. At that time, I felt that no one would ever like me and that I was destined to go through life as an spinster. I had asked him for a ride home from a club meeting that we both were in. He agreed and we got in the car to go to my house. I asked him if he could stop by a house to pick up my little brother. He agreed and I directed him to the house. While we wer .....

.... in the future. However, adoption tends to be an extremely long process because sometimes it is hard to sever the biological parents’ rights to their children. The people who decide to become foster parents are admired by a lot of people, especially because it is known that foster parents endure extreme emotional turmoil. However, one of the most obvious negative aspects about foster care that surpasses that of what foster parents endure, is the emotional turmoil suffered by a foster child after such extreme changes occur in their environments.
