Foster Me

By: Ariana Oman

Narrated by: Beccy Quinn

My parents, all of them, are beautifully flawed.

Life for Ariana is not a ribbon floating through time collecting happy memories; it is a rope she clings to that transforms into a noose when she becomes a foster child. Not every child born is given a stable home. Some face tragedy and are often severed from family ties. This is how a foster child is created, how Ariana became one. Wrapped inside a letter she writes to her deceased mother, Ariana reveals her journey. As a foster child, she faces her fears and more heartbreaks. With loving guidance from her foster families, she learns how to release the rope and transform it into a ribbon.
