Granny's gone and done it again

I’ve always wanted five kids. But my first pregnancy was not easy and the delivery nearly killed me. The second was some better, but not much. So we’re going to foster-to-adopt in our next phase of life. We both want teenagers. I had an epiphany the other day, that I’m ready-ish. People always tell me they have no idea how I can braid as well as I do. It just comes naturally. At the concert I was watching a girl fiddle with her soft, thick hair and I just wanted to braid it. And then I realized that I’m halfway to caring for black hair. Obviously we won’t have a race preference, but I like to be ready for anyone. I can braid well, and that’s the best place to start. It’s gotten better now, but I used to lay in bed at night just sobbing because I know my kids are out there somewhere and not with me.

It’s scary. I know I’m short-tempered and lose my patience. I have high expectations for function and behavior. I’m super disorganized at this stage of my life (used to be hyper organized though). But I know we can do it. I know we’re meant to do it.

You will do great things. I kinda hope you get siblings so they can stay together. Regardless of race I know you will love them like they should have been loved :hugs
 
Could be. Looks more like a Calico/Tabby cross. Also called a Tabico. Could have some dilute in there however.
5 kids? Have you had your head examined?:lau
Sorry, just my opinion. My 2 boys nearly drove me nuts with their fighting! :th
Good morning. The grandkids about kill me. I am exhausted after they leave.
