Martin: "Noah, where are you from?
Noah: "I’m from northern California. Bakersfield. But I didn’t grow up there. I kinda grew up in the system though so I lived there, all over the place." M: "You grew up in foster care?"
N: “I was taken in when I was three." M: "You stayed with the same family the whole time?"
N: “No, different families and then I got adopted when I was eight."
M: "You stayed with your foster parents from three to eight?"
N: “From three to eight, I was in fourteen different foster homes, trying to find a place. What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger."
M: "Wow, why would they switch you that often?"
N: “They’re not good homes, not good places to be. They get paid for doing that so that’s one reason why they most likely did it but they couldn’t handle it."
M: "Why did you end up in foster care at three?"
N: “My parents were drug addicts. So we got taken away. Yeah. that was the past. Yeah. I know who I am today so…"
M: "Have you met your parents since?"
N: “Yeah, met my dad, not my mom."
M: "Are you still in touch with your adoptive parents?"
N: “Yeah, they’re good people. Just I was never really able to keep my anger. I was an angry child because of all the homes and people [messed] with my head and I couldn’t believe that somebody wanted to keep me. And I just fucked it up for myself. And she tried and never gave up, my mom, really was there for me… still is today. Still is today."
