I have been on here a short time. I will jump in here. First ,I am one of those people that has a small picture, cause that is all I had on hand, and I should have put pink paper behind it
Now for the reason I write. Would anyone like to be adopted.? I have 12 children, not bragging , but, love them all and they all Love me. I gave up my all for them, I taught them to work, and play. In that order. I do not believe in spanking as I don't want the same. My youngest son told me this week that I am the reason he is going on the help people on earth.(is a Cna and training to be a firefighter/paramedic) I helped mom raise her twelve, I had my brothers four for 7 years, and have been a single parent mom for almost 20 years to protect my children. I worked in the schools with special needs kids for five years.Kids all grown now.They have been my life, no brag, just fact. I can tell you why you were born, and it really has nothing to do with your mom and dad. They are just the means to an end, so look past them to what you need to do with you. I am impressed with you young kids and the way you think about "STUFF" that happens to you in your life. You take the positive route and, as I call it look for the golden nugget in everything, most of the time. That is enough for now, you all have a great day, and I will look forward to reading what you have to say. In Christ, Gentlefire12
