Angry at birth parents
Daring to trust new family
Obedience is very hard
Patience is needed
Time is a healer
I need to be helped
Odd feelings are flying
No one can understand me

New place, new family, new trust
Everyone tries to understand
What I feel
Feelings can be shown
At any time
Mum and Dad love me loads
I feel lonely sometimes
Love is important
Your family will love you for ever

Feelings are important in life
Angry at some people
My brain is very mixed up
I like to be happy
Love is special
You will love your new family
Families are important
Unhappiness is alright to show
Trust is important
Underneath my body is a bit of happiness
Roz and Dee are ok to know!!!!!!
Everyone at Family Futures is very kind
Still need some help?
