“Living with my brothers and sisters means there are people who know exactly what it was like to grow up in my home—they miss the same things I miss and are glad that some things are different now.”

“It means that, even when I feel scared or alone, there’s somebody there for me— someone to tell me everything is ok, to tell me they’ll always be there for me and mean it.”

“When people are talking about their families at school and what their home is like, I don’t always have to be different. I might not live with my mom and dad, but I have brothers and sisters just like the other kids in my class.”
