Thanks, Sharon. Since I was born and raised in Alabama, I have no plans to 
leave the state, unless God sends me somewhere else. I submit to Him in all 
of this. Say, are group homes as bad as my aunt says they are? Granted, I 
know you'll have responsibilities, but I barely have independent training. I 
mean, what if I miss something while vacuuming, or well, you know. I'm not 
making excuses. I know there are some good group homes, or foster homes, but 
what agency would I go through? I'm almost scared to call DHR, because they 
mostly deal in child abuse or domestic violence issues. I'm really scared 
that one day I'm going to end up in a nursing home, for lack of independent 
living skills. Ugh!
