a new beginning for F-boy

I have been really enjoying the post of so many others that I thought that I might have something to say, so here goes.
I am a 40 something Wife and Mother of 2. One 17 and one 22, and recently we have added another teen (18) to our brood. Not really by choice. It seems, my 17 year old (Cheer) brought home a wounded puppy. She seems to alway connect to the lost and helpless and we bring them under our wing for a time, make them better and then let them fly the coup....

Cheer has started to spread her wing a little, sometimes to my dismay, This time it had a little bit of a devastating consequence for her good friend F-boy. F-boy wanted to see a concert of his favorite band, and my loving Daughter, offered to drive him, because F-boy does not own a car and can not drive. F-boys parents (according to F-boy) were not kind to him and he knew they would not let him go. So he told them that he was working and the group took off for the concert in Cheers car. Some garage band, that I could not even begin to know. Cheer did not exactly tell me the whole truth either. Not because I would not have let her gone (it was a school night), but She is still a little of a new driver and I would not have let her drive on the freeway way across town late at night with three other people (teens) in her car.

I found out because my 22 year old son,(D-boy) asked me if I knew that she went to a concert. My Husband (D-Dad) knew and did not tell me either. He said that he figured that I knew. (He is not the best communicator in this world, unless you are talking about some battle in a computer game, or some political topic. Then he does not stop talking. But that is another story.

Anyway, when I found out that they were at a concert, I let my fingers do the talking and dialed the cell until she answered. I tried to be as calm as a trembling - angry Mom can be. I had to get her home still. She called me back after the Concert was over and I scolded her a little. Then she told me she was lost. I am the worlds worst direction giver, so she is lucky she got home at all, but they finally made it at 1:00 A.M. I was fit to be tied.

Then I find out that after they went to the Concert, F-boys Mother (Foster/Adopted Mother, left him a message on my Daughters phone, saying the F-boy was not welcome back and she was withdrawing him from School and he was "Our Problem now"

And sure enough, She did everything that she said she would. That was almost 2 weeks ago and he is sleeping on the Couch, or in D-boys room, when he is out. We are trying our best to figure out this situation, but I am afraid that F-boy will be our son from now on. He is a good boy. He is quiet and does not talk much. I think that is foster/adopted parents were not really good parents to him. He came to us with few belongings, and little else. He was put into Foster care at 8 along with a brother that is 2 years older. His older Brother has since joined the Armed forces and F-boy does not know how to get into touch with him, not like he could do much about F-boys situation anyway.

F-boy, re-registered himself into school and the school listed him as homeless.

For now we are coping. D-Dad is not very happy, but has humored me for now with the situation. We have told F-boy that he can stay for now, but any problems and he will have to find another place to go. Just where is an barely 18 year old boy, with no know family suposed to go? He has a part time job, can't drive and no Drivers License. We live in a city with no mass Transportation, so he would have to walk where ever he went.

We are just planning to take it a day at a time and see where we end up. I picture myself down the road with a house full of grand kids, both mine and my new adopted sons.
F-boy, I am not going to kick you to the curb, like the rest have done. You deserve a good life and I will do my best with the Lords help.
