My blog must seem extremely boring to most visitors. We don't have the crises that other large adoptive families do. No do we have the severe behavior problems that other families do.
I'm ever so glad that in 1992 I decided that we'd only adopt infants with Down syndrome, thereby avoiding RAD. Well we did adopt a crack baby and two spina bifida ones, but still, all these years later, I'm grateful for the relative peace.
21 kids, and all are doing well as can be expected. Only ten at home. Makes for a peaceful life. Usually...
Danielle is spending two nights at her friend's house this weekend. So what does she do, but call her sister, Emily here to chat on the phone. And Emily can't sleep in their room alone, so she talked her dad into letting her sleep in my recliner, while dad slept on the couch.
When one kid is missing there is a whole shift in dynamics. Two are missing this weekend. Matt is spending the weekend with his best friend of 20 years, Sean. Sean is moving to TX shortly. That will be sad for both of them.
And with Matt and Dani gone, it just seems like an incredibly small family. Parts of the puzzle are missing...
