2010

We had a very big year! 2010 was a great year for most things. We got to adopt 5 beautiful kids, we have everyone home for school now, which was a big adjustment...we went from 2 being schooled to 7...as we do "pre-school"..., we had a few hard on your heart foster care placements, we got to know many people in our church family, we teach Sunday school, we went through very hard times this year with the children we adopted but while still in foster care, we watched the kids siblings be moved around, I got a tubal reversal and then a uterine infection, and much more! It has been the most emotional year we have EVER had! Many, many, many ups and downs this year. There were times we thought the boys (the ones we adopted) were going to have to live with their grandparents, who were not appropriate...so we fought and fought for them and what was in their best interest....we had to split up the sibling group of girls we had...there were 4 sisters (we adopted only 3)....we tried SO hard to make it work for all 4...but the oldest sister was SO mean and abusive, we didn't tell the county we wanted her removed, they told us...and a month later she molested a boy close to the same age as my special needs son....we were so sad for her. To say the least, this year has been full of growing times! We are so thankful! God is good all the time....
I pray this next year to come will be full of fun and new things! There are a few things stirring already...so we shall see what God will do. Happy New Year!
