Since I work with children, I have always had a place in my heart for them. Through babysitting, I have become very close to two young sisters that were recently taken from their parents due to physical abuse. I have been able to witness the struggles they have faced through having to uproot their entire lives and move into a new house, with complete strangers and switch daycares. This change would be dramatic for anyone but the unfortunate part is that the people having to face this adversity are young children. Although the family they are with provide them with everything they need and treat them as if they were born into the family, the question of what will be the two children's future resinates. Where will they end up?
This connection made me want to further research the foster care system, although this piece was only a minute I think it is a relevant topic and something that my church is doing a series on as well. I did not want to feature the girls in many of the pictures because of their personal circumstances so I decided to go more abstract by taking pictures of their toys, shoes, etc. The singing at the end of the clip is the two year old singing 10,000 Reasons, a worship song that her current foster parents sing to her before bed.
