It is so nice to read about the happenings of my family! I feel honored to have been mentioned as well! How cool! But I must comment on the part about adopting a child! I think it's wonderful, and I too have thought I would like to do that (although I don't have the financial means to). HOWEVER, you can adopt me! I am needy and would love to have your guidance and financial support, lol! Talk about jealousy! I've always been jealous of all your children! Growing up with financial security and opportunity and all kinds of desirable materialistic stuff! Will you be my forever family!? Want to God-Parent my kids? Seriously though, I think if you want to do something similar to that, it would be better and more educational for Tara to take in a high school foreign exchange student. You can be a host family to a foreign high school student without having a high school aged child. Then it's something that is only temporary and you will all learn from it. Something to think about! And my offer is still open, you can adopt me!
