Off topic, but I totally love you for doing this.

He's a good kid, just got stuck in a rotten family who threw him out of the house for being gay. Really, I see no reason whatsoever to ruin this kid's life, the state has the most jacked up foster system right now, so any parent who WANTS to keep the kid pretty much gets to, plus he's 17, so they took a lot of what he said he wanted to do into this also. He's got one year of HS, didn't have another place to go, it sucks to move, but he figured it was better than living on the streets. And really, once you have more than 3 kids, it's all the same in the end.

I so couldn't foster kids normally, I'm not cut out for it. Boyd and McFly are WAY better people than I am.

We were in the foster to adopt program, and they had asked us if we'd take a child in that situation, we said of course. Many in the foster program locally would take a foster child, but when they found out the kid was gay, throw him out that day. I wasn't exactly looking for a teenaged adoptee, but if fate aligned that way we've gone with it. We were in the middle of being certified when they car hit us, now we don't qualiify.

That;s where we were with erik, his birthday is early april, usually the cut-off date is april 15th, but they moved it back that year to March 31st, so he was 8 days too young. At that poing he'd burned thru all of the kinder and preschool work, so I enrolled him in the program as an independant student that first year, and paid cash to do so. He worked thru summer, got another grade ahead (his brother had summer school that year, for reading enrichment), so he walked in the first "official" day of K already worked thru the k &1st grade OF THE SAME PROGRAM. Crazy bat wanted me to have him start the K books over again, because that's what the charts said.

Cut off for the school is Sept 1st, like I said, part of me wants Minotauro and Minotoro here by then so I'm not stuck at home with them for an extra year. But since hey, the school is willing to lax the rules slightly for one, I think they'll be ok with the twins who would be a month young. Or they might not be ready by then. Whatever, I've got 4 years and a month to figure that out.

Annika will be in the PK program, but will have special sessions with the areas she needs. Or something like that. Blah. All I got was woohoo, she gets to go to school, so I will not have a bored 3 y/o on my hands with newborns. I don't care what classes/programs they stick her in, she's off my hands.

Orchy - yup, his parents didn't show up to court so the state said, sure, if you want him, go ahead. So we moved him along with us.



That is a lucky kid. I hope he takes advantage of what you have offered him and becomes famously successful. Give him a hug from me. It still must hurt to be thrown away by you parents.
