Hey I am Samantha Jacob or Sam, I was orphaned for 15 years and still going. My mother left me on the door step of The 7th Avenue Orphanage in Albany, New York. My story starts 15 years ago, on the dark and dirty streets of Albany New York.

-------------------15 years ago-----------------

Rain poured in buckets, the lights of the tall skyscrapers glistening in the rain. A shadowy figure dashed with something in their arms. It was a woman with a box in her arms, and a baby girl was in the box. She walked up to the steps of the orphanage, and yet the box on 3rd step. With one last look the woman was off, the baby girl was left there crying. Until the owner of the orphanage, Ms. Jones, heard her and brought her in. The was a note, all drenched with rain, and was barely readable.
I couldn't take care of her, please I hope she finds a great home and new family.
Her name is Samantha Alexa Jacob.

A few years later, she was adopted by the Johns and she was soon back at the orphanage. This has happened to until she was 10, and that's when she started running away. As she grew, she got better at dodging people, cops, Ms. Jones, and others.

Well that's what the others say, and they also say I stick out like a sore thumb. I have dark blonde hair with a streak of bright blonde in the front of my face, but it's in a strange shape. I have bright blue-green eyes, black glasses, and I'm kinda short, so yeah. I stick out like a sore thumb. I've been adopted many times, but never found that right place. Hopefully I will, next time.
