Introduction
It was Christmastime and the Adams-Foster household was abuzz. It had been a busy year for everyone bringing many changes. Stef and Lena were still in shock at the amazing men and women their children had become. They were parents themselves now raising their own families and still managing to stay connected to their siblings. The cousins were in the living room as the adults continued talking.
"I asked Amber what she thought and she's so excited. She hasn't stopped asking questions." Mariana said. "Fair warning Jude. I told her to talk to you."
"Fine by me." Jude laughed. "She should ask Brandon too. She's gonna be in his position."
"She already did." Lou looked in the living room where Brandon was sitting on the couch talking to their kids.
"We have the room." Mat shrugged. "And the resources. It's a good thing to do."
"How's Danny doing?" Callie asked. Danny was 16 years old and one of the children Stef and Lena had decided to foster that year.
"Uh…" Stef sighed. "He's good I think. He still doesn't tell us anything."
"It'll take time." Callie and Jude exchanged knowing looks. Jude had placed Danny with Stef and Lena for a reason. He was good at not letting professional and personal lines blur, but he knew that in both his personal and professional opinion that Stef and Lena could help in the same way that he knew Mariana and Mat could. It would be a challenge for all of them, making their family bigger, but they could handle it.
Amber's POV
Mom and Dad just told me they were going to foster. I'm not exactly sure how it's going to go, but at least I won't be alone in dealing with it. Our family's one big crazy blur and there's always someone to go to. It's kind of annoying actually. I'm pretty much the last person that likes noise, so the fact that our home's gonna be home for a bunch of other kids is a little nerve wracking, but the foster system did help mom and her siblings come together and find a family. Maybe it can do the same for some others. If I can help, then maybe it won't be so bad.
Danny's POV
Stef's daughter Mariana is going to foster? I pull out my headphones and listen to the adults talking in the next room. This family is definitely interesting. In the three months I've been here, they've been nothing but nice, Stef and Lena's kids too. This is the first time I've met most of them, I mean really met them. Their kids all go to Anchor Beach and they all live nearby, but I've done my best to be invisible. Not that it's done much. All it's really done is make Stef and Lena think there's something wrong with me. What if they make Jude send me back? I guess I just have to try to talk to them this year. Hopefully I can make friends with someone, then maybe I can stay.

A/N: Okay so, I'm looking for a pretty even split of girls to guys, 9 and 9, but I'm open to adding more if I really like a character. You can submit up to two. I will accept twins. Submit a separate form for each one, just indicate that they're twins. Foster kids shouldn't be older than 17. They'd be out of the system then. The others, bio and adopted can be as old as 18. They shouldn't be younger than eleven. Story lines should be relatively dramatic especially if you're submitting a foster kid, just not completely unbelievable. Be as specific as possible especially in regards to history, story lines and family relationships. The more specific, the more likely I'll be able to write your character well so have fun with it. The form's on my profile, scroll down to the bottom under With Arms Wide Open. You'll see it. :) Submit characters through PM. The deadline will be somewhere between June 26 and July 1st. Any questions, if you want to tell me more about a character, know more about the Adams-Fosters in this verse, know what possessed me to try a Fosters SYOC, just PM! :) Happy creating.
