There’s a government file about my life. A file full of reports. The reports date from 1985 to 2003. That’s 18 years. File 105538.

No, I’m not a terrorist or a spy. From two weeks old, to the day I turned 18, I was a foster child.

I do not own the file about my life. It belongs to the state of Queensland. 

But when I turned 18 I wanted answers.   What I found rocked me to my core.

This is my story.
