I can't believe I am typing this, I am sick AGAIN. Last one was a stomach virus and this is all in my chest and throat. I am not having fun.
I have started a post about the admission on Friday and our company on Sunday but can't finish. I thought I would also get your juices flowing for a day or so about our 8th child. We have identified and will soon finalize on another adoption.
I am off to bed......
About Me
- Tudu
- Deep South, United States
- I am the mother of 10 children, 6 are part of a large sibling group we adopted through foster care in 2006, 2 are our grown foster daughters, 2 are from independent infant adoptions in 2001 and 2008. Every one of them have their own issues to work through from Schizo-Affective Disorder, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Complex PTSD, Reactive Attachment Disorder, Sensory Integration Dysfunction, ADHD, and Cerebral Palsy. Most of our children have been victims of sexual abuse by a close family member, most acted out sexually or exhibited predatory behaviors. We are currently trying to figure out where the trauma ends and mental illness begins in each of their lives.

Congratulations... and talk about a cliff-hanger ending!!!!
OH MY GOSH!!! I can't believe you left us hanging like that....
I hope you feel lots better soon (and I swear it's not just a pure selfish desire to hear about this new kiddo, mostly)!!!
((gasp)) You are a tease!!! LOL
Feel better...I have the chest/throat thing too.

You crack me up. I'd like to hope it's Shyanne but surely you'd have said something if there was anything happening with her, wouldn't you? So I'm gonna bet on a boy, and not one of your friend's kids but one from "the system."
Anyway, how is Shyanne? Do you hear from her and Frankee at all?
Congratulations! I've been checking for updates & will be checking even more often now. lol
Angela :-)
No way! Hope you feel better soon. Can't wait to hear about number 8. I'm guessing it's a boy...

Sorry you are not feeling well. Congratulations on your newest addition :) We are looking forward to hearing whatever details you are willing to share. The real question is - Is eight enough?
