Hye, Angela Vanessa my name is Marecia Wakefield and I am a great role model I have five cousins three girls and two boys who has been taken away from there parents due to their abusive relationship toward each other and also toward the kids. Including leaving kids at home while they go to the club leaving the oldest girl to watch which she was just twelve at the time also it got to the point when the mother got mad at the dad that when she goes to work she takes the kids with her in make them sit in the car while she is working inside of walmart. Now you know them kids were hungry thirsty everything else. But, they went from being placed in Child Protective Services(CPS)in foster care homes included having to go to therapist in everything because of witnessing there mom slice a girls throat in cutting there dads arm open but I decided to take a stand I am only 18 so I would’nt have been able to adopt so I asked my mom the next time these kids have to go to court can you asked the judge can you adopt them for me since I was only 18. And what do you know she let my mom adopt all five of the kids for me in every since then I have had these kids in school faithfully everyday on time I have gotten a job for these kids I buy there clothes in shoes with every check I do the girls hair my self because I know how to do hair in I take the boys to the barber shop with no problem.In every since these kids have not had not one bad dream at all about the situation in now are enjoying there life to the fullest. This is not a fake made up story this is true in real life stuff that go on the world today but I made a difference for these five kids in I hope I can make a difference for someone else to.
