“Claudia how have you been doing?” Asked my judge. I was 17years old when I walked into that court. It all started like this, the judge asked the group how I was doing and they said, she has got into a fight with a girl because of Miguel, and she has violated the Lightning Peaks rules, she has seen Miguel while she was in Lightning Peak. The Judge got mad more because I didn’t really go to school; i was just getting into a lot of trouble, not caring about my baby. I would always leave my baby with my mom when I was 15 years old I didn’t really think how it was being a mom. I was 15 years old when I first got into the system, that’s when I started being another Claudia. My baby boy was 10 months.
The reason I was in Lightning Peak was, because I got into fights, got alcohol tickets, curfew tickets the one that suggested me to be in that was the judge. When the judge heard everything she had to hear she said, “Claudia is put into DCFS, she has a choice to volunteer to take her baby with her.” I said, “I want him to come with me. I felt sad; angry towards this because I don’t want to put my son threw this. After court I said bye to my family I was crying because it hurt me being in the system because of a guy I love. My caseworker told us he was taking me to meet my foster parent’s. When I got to the DCFS I felt so sad because I was going away somewhere else away from my family but the good thing I had my baby. When the foster parent’s got their I said, “Hi”. They were white. When we got to their house they showed me my room, so I got in my room and started crying.
It’s been so hard for me being in foster care. I almost got my baby token away, but the good thing is I got a chance. The DCFS has given me lots of chances. The last chance they gave me I learned my lesson and started doing so well, and keeping my head up, because they aid any little thing I did I will get him token away. I know I should of change the day I had this baby, but I guess I was hard headed. I’ve been trough a lot in my life. I don’t have my parent’s, I’ on my own, I have 2 brother’s here, but I can’t move with them. I’ve learned not to give up and especially for someone I love, that is never their for his family.
In till this day I’ve never gave up, I have been doing well so I can support my son and I. I don’t need anybody I know I can do it by my self I don’t think I need his dad right now. I know I do but I have to do the best for my son, if he ever does change who knows we might be together, but till now I don’t want him in our life’s he has hurt us a lot, my baby doesn’t need that, but I’ll always have his back, and be down for him. In till this day I’ve learned to always listen to my parents, and never do anything for someone who is not worth it, always think about my baby first before I do something stupid because look what I’ve gotten my self and my baby into, but I’m almost threw this, I know I can do it on my own.

Damn girl you should start with taking care of your little boy and geting your self out the system with him thats a good place to start. foreal.
I know that gose though your head because my sister is going through the same thing with her baby dad you all need your baby dad but you need to make it fist because you can do it on your own but it will be hard but just don't for get who help you make your baby because if there not in there life don't mean they don't love them boys they made
Great story it sounds like ur a strong young lady whos trying to give all the love she can to her son. thats a good thing. love is important in a family, and if you keep your head up and stay focused you can do it. i can relate because my mom always loved me no matter what she has always been there for my and showed me love. im sure your son will be thank full for your love even though sometimes its hard your stil his mother and he will always have a spot in his heart just like i have one in mine for my mother.
it's crazy all you've gone through and im glad to see that you're trying way hard to get otttah the system and that you're doing everything you can to give baby miguel a better life! not a lot of girls take that like no joke. Your baby is wayy cute and im sure when you get outtah the system ans see him grow up you'll know it was worth it!
No matter how much you love a guy you don't have to get in trouble for him he should have been the bigger man and helped well he could and when you get one chance always surprise them and get out faster by it.
Claudia wow you came a log ways and I understand what u been through and I'm always see you with your son taking care of him and I relate to your story Because when I was seven I got takin away from my mom and also my dad to but my parents were alcoholic it was really hard for me to leave them but when I was 15 I started doin drugs and drinking to Because I Started thinking about my family
and I wish every thing can be better and just knowing my dad is not here he got murder for no reason I was 12 when I found so by your story I thought about positive things what should do and I'm so glad that I met you
i can relate to this because it hurt to know that you have to leave you family and everyone you know
i was pretty weirded out when i first went to court. i felt so small and puny in the eyes of justice. but i have no kids and i think that it must be very hard, so going to court is probably nothing compared to having a baby. good job and good grammar.
