Cash: 我意识到我的人生使命不是追求社会公正,而是要避免成为像我母亲那样的人。我童年时期经历了家庭的破裂和与亲人的分离,这给我留下了深刻的创伤。在寄养家庭中,我常常感到自己像一个局外人,难以找到真正的归属感。我渴望被爱和被接纳,但现实却常常让我失望。我努力在学校和教会中寻找慰藉,但内心的空虚感始终难以填补。我希望能够找到自己的身份认同,摆脱过去的阴影,重新开始我的人生。 Brittany Ard: 我理解Cash所经历的痛苦,因为我自己也曾面对母亲的挣扎。寄养系统常常无法提供孩子们真正需要的关爱和支持,反而让他们在不同的家庭中漂泊,难以建立稳定的情感关系。Cash的故事揭示了寄养系统中的种种问题,例如种族差异、不平等待遇和虐待等。我们应该关注这些问题,为寄养儿童提供更好的保护和支持,帮助他们走出困境,重拾希望。

[Cash’s Story Part 1/2]

Cash’s journey through foster care is a tale of survival in a system full of harsh realities. Torn from her home and separated from her siblings, she was thrust into a world of uncertain foster placements, each one a new battle with its own dark challenges. In a system that seemed indifferent to her pain, Cash fought back with resilience—finding success in school and finally forming a meaningful bond with her adoptive mom, Wanda.

But survival comes at a cost. Now, at 32, Cash stands on the edge of revealing the truth of her childhood—an unflinching look at the system that failed her and the scars it left behind. Will sharing her story bring the closure she seeks, or will it expose even darker truths buried beneath the surface?
