Also a foster kid! I was moved around a lot in a system that didn't/doesn't have many homes. Spent most of my time in group homes and various temporary placements. When I finally got a permanent placement I was 16 so I was only there for 2 years before I aged out.
It was a very good home for me. But it was never my home or my family.
That being said, I have built my own "family" of close friends. Nice thing about building your own family is that you get to pick the people in it! And perhaps because of our childhood, my sister and I are much closer than most people seem to be with their siblings.
Sounds like you got placed with your sister. You're very lucky. I guess my only advice would be to try to cherish that bond with her and carefully start building your own family.
It's a tough life! But it will work out!
I wish you the best!
