Wow, Minnie,

I took a look at the photos on your Care Page, what a beautiful and large family you have. With a support team like that, I imagine you will sail through this.

How funny that your girls are having girls. On a much smaller scale, my family is the same way. I only have sisters and then when they had children, they were girls and so was mine.

I decided to break the girl cycle by adopting a 3 year old boy 9 years ago. When I told one of my sisters, she responded with..."A boy? we don't know anything about boys!" And, everyday I have to admit she is right. Boys are different...in a lot of ways. He's a load of fun, but wow, has he tested my patience (or lack of) at times.

Good luck! And, thanks for sharing so much with the OCF. I admire you in a multitude of ways. I will be praying for you and your beautiful family.

God Bless,


Margaret
