Guest guest Posted March 22, 2008 Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 Yes you read right. My husband and I found out early in our marriage that we could not have children so we became foster parents. We fostered for 10 yrs and had 100 kids in our home. We kept 11 of them and pretty much retired from foster care. We are praying in the next couple of months to finalize our last two adoptions and then we will finally be complete in every way. If it were for this disease I would have liked to have had another 3 or 4 but now my body wears out faster than before I and I can barely keep up with the ones I have. They re such wonderful kids some are special needs in that we have one that is bipolar and some with PTSD and some with ODD ( oppositional defiant disorder) and a few other things. Last year my oldest ( now 12) had Hodgkin's lymphoma so we spent alot of time at the cancer center. HE went into remission in August and what a blessing it was to be able to say he is now a cancer survivor. His and his sister are the two we will finalize this year. The kids are awesome and they help me so very much. Especially since being diagnosed. most of them are above 7 yrs old and so that has helped they can fix their own meals and we home school so they do their own work. Then they will also help me around the house. They have really pitched in and taken over for me. We do have days when none of us want to do anything and we basically wont either but for the most part they are wonderful and I cant imagine life without a full house. Soft hugs, Rise " Wampler Wife to Rich, mother to 11 Angels straight from God . Hebrews 13:2, " Be not forgetful to entertain angels for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.

Guest guest Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 Well, all I can say is God bless you for all you are doing for those lucky kids. I have a hard time going to work and chasing one 2 year old, let alone having a house full!! I am in awe of you. That is just great. I hope you all have a happy, healthy, blessed Easter. /Mi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
