Have you ever thought that parents make mistakes too? Memories of my childhood and parents are really, but let me tell you my story. My father was not always there for us, my mom smoking, and the unclean house. It was; the sky was a deep navy blue, when my Mom, my brothers, and I heard the three hard knocks on ourdoor. Dad wasn’t there because he was in prison. We saw the red and blue flashing lights outside and,“It’s the police.” I don’t remember who, but someone opened the door totwo tall and attractive policemen. The policemenmy brothers and me out to their cars, while my mom staggered （蹒跚）behind with. The street was quiet as though acould be heard, and the neighbors came out towhat was happening. “You can’t take them away from me. You can’t! ” cried my mom. One of the policemen replied, “We have to, Miss. This is no place to bring up children. They’ll be in（a） good.” I decided to go to the farthest police car with my younger brother, Alec, to avoid the neighbors’. I somehow felt ashamed. The policeman turned his car key in the car and it. We drove away from my apartment, neighbors, and my mom,them behind. The night went by very fast. One minute I’m beingaway from my mom, the next I’m in a policeman’s car, and now I find myself in a nurserywith my brothers. For threeyears I lived with a very nice family with my brothers in the town of Leominster. On the third year of myat the nursery home, I met this very strangelively couple who treat us well. That moment had changed everything that was going to happen to me. A major turning point in my lifewhen my brothers and I were adopted （收养）.
