I have two nieces who were adopted out of foster care, so this really hits home with me. What is amazing is after all she has been through, never having had a family, she still took the high road and is getting a college education on her own and trying to better her life. It must be absolutely horrible to have to spend the holidays all alone without a family. If she lived near me I would gladly spend some time with her free of charge and make her feel special and appreciated. No one should be left alone like that. If this doesn't bring a tear to your eye, I doubt anything will.
