Unwanted to Wanted

Wed, 04/12/2023 - 09:01 -- CierraJ

Well, it has been a long time since I was called the undesirable label. Oh! How I wished the label wasn’t attached to me. But, a foster girl was just what I was… all day, every day. Foster girl wasn’t what I wanted it to be. It was just the way it had to be. I just wanted to be called by MY name… Cierra. Because that name was me, and it’s who I am!   When I think of the times before I was labeled “foster girl”, all I think about is how I was still unwanted. When I hear “foster girl” I hear UNWANTED!Over and over and over again. With everything inside of me I wanted to yell,PLEASE, LOVE ME!!!But… would anyone love me the way I was?DOES ANYONE LOVE ME?!I had no answer,Until that one day. The one day I thought was a dream. But it was a dream… a dream that finally came true.That day was an important part of my life.It was the day I was WANTED!It was the day I was called Daughter!It was the start of a love that would last forever!It was the day of my ADOPTION! No more UNWANTED! From that day on I was…WANTED!
