Poor Clark! And, for that matter, poor other kids and, to a much lesser extent, poor foster mother.
I am hoping that the final stage of grief will hold something at least slightly positive for Clark, but I could see it going either way. I hope the acceptance will come because, say, a certain female reporter enters his life and helps him to come to terms with things, and not because he finally accepts that his current miserable situation is his new reality.
I also hope part three will follow soon.
Well written, if heart-breaking.
Joy,
Lynn
