Mollianne - age 13


Dear diary,

So last week I met my so called birth family and the only one I am biologically related to is Lena Adams Foster because she gave birth to me.

The Adams Foster family is a multi- racial and a same-sex parents family.

It consists of two moms. Lena, who the kids call mama and Stef, who the kids call mom. Next in this crazy family are the kids. Brandon is the oldest at seventeen and is biologically Stef's son from a previous marriage. He's a piano prodigy and is passionate about music. He's also sensitive, caring, and protective. Then next is Callie, who's sixteen almost seventeen and was adopted from the foster system. Well actually all the kids were except Brandon and I, but I don't consider myself apart of this family. Anyways Callie's loyal to the people she loves and is protective of them. She'd give her life to protect her family. In that way she reminds me of Hero. Callie's also humble and almost never takes credit for herself.

Next are the almost sixteen year old Latino twins, Mariana and Jesus. Jesus is protective of his family. He's a wrestler on the school wrestling team. Mariana is a drama queen. She loves fashion and shopping. She's also passionate about dance and is on the dance team at school as well as the STEM club team, since she's good at math and coding.

Last is Jude, who's thirteen and is biologically Callie's maternal half-brother. Also although Jude is thirteen he's a month older than I am. His birthday is November 17 and mine is December 15. Jude's a sweet, sensitive boy. He's also gay, which he acknowledged even though he doesn't like labels.

By the way, I don't like this family. I think it's a little weird that the kids have two moms, but the kids seem happy, loved, and well cared for. I don't know why I have a problem with the two mom thing. It's not like I'm Christian or anything. I just, I guess I'm not used to this idea. Traditionally a family has a mom and a dad.

Signed,

Monkey
