I have a teenage daughter at 54. (Help me Jesus and God!!) Rosie is a junior in high school and likes the things most juniors in high school like I suppose. Since she was small I always tried to teach sweet little Rosie to be bold and adventerous. I guess I am reaping what I sow but in a somewhat different manner than I expected.
She's bold alright! Here she is dancing on stage with "The Used" at an all day rock concert she was at last week. Ugh!
Click here to see "sweet little Rosie" who is not so little anymore (but still sweet.)
Roise and friends dancing with "The Used" at Next Big Thing
Click on the imbedded video to see the dancing. She is to the right of the stage.
It was a thrill for her since this is one of her favorite bands and the featured group at the end of the of the whole day. If I were 17 again I would have probably been there too.
But I think I was home asleep in front of the TV. Ha, ha!

Let us know what you and your wife decide.
She is my "Mom" my mother in law...she is 91 and just suffered a major stroke...but can i tell you about her? she and her husband john, decided to adopt and foster kids...the house that she built from the ground up, was not big enough, so they bought this really old farm house. it was built in the 1700's here in PA. they put in all the pluming, electric, found moss as the insulator, they both worked, dad at a factory as a millwright, mom at a factory. they started by adopting, they adopted 3 kids (one of them my ex husband), while fostering...from babies to teens, i really do not know how many kids made a home in our farm house...just many, maybe over 100 or more. some stayed all the way, one of those girls (she is over 65) is today nursing my mom through all this. i have done every wedding for all of the kids-kids for years. they also did the "fresh air" program and brought inner city kids out to our farm, dad built a pool for them from cement blocks, it still works and painted an octopus on the bottom with a really cool slide. it is heaven, it is peaceful, it is home..to all of us. we plant tomatoes and do an organic garden, not as big as dad did, but we have spaghetti every Saturday and never know who will show up...and now we are saying goodbye to this wonderful hearted woman, an unsung hero.
so what do i have to say to making a family of kids that just want a haven, a home, and love?
never doubt a minute...give it your all. it will hurt when the kids leave, but trust me, it all comes back to you in memories that make you proud...hope that helps from what i know...i am part of an amazing family...its an odd lot, but there is always another space at the table always.
pray for my mom if you get a chance, and know that love is what we have...
hope
You are so........blessed!
I was married to a non-ex-way wonderful lady, who I knew in high school. This September the 20th we will celebrate our 6th wedding anniversary. Neither of us had children before getting married to each other, and have not to this day had children. It is heart wrenching at times...to not have experienced the joys and challenges of parenting. I am 53, turning 54 in January. I know that with God all things are possible...look at Abraham. What would you say to a couple who is financially blessed, somewhat sane, and love children, and desiring to possibly adopt children? possibly a baby, or a young child? I'm not looking for advice.....just would appreciate you sharing your thoughts...if you so desire.
