Runaways Orphans

Running away from a terrible foster home
Unusual foster father, taking advantage of teenage girls
No one there to help, when there is a need
A foster mother who sabotages a possible adoption
Wheels spinning, chased down by an evil foster parent
Angry foster father fit to kill, his drugs were in the car that four girls stole
Yearning for a home, parents to love you; but you never have that chance
So many years alone, wishing to have a normal life, but even those who aren't adopted seem wounded.

Only alive, left there unwanted
Reading or watching tv, seeing this perfect American family
Perhaps there is no perfect family out there, nothing but a staged act
Hopes that aren't possible
A never ending wish or dream, to be with your true parents
Never to have a loving family
So many chances, but the older you are, the less possible parents are going to want you.

I like it - this is the one for your reading response, right?
You should call it Runaways Orphans, cause it's down the side.
