You adopted 3 kids? And have 2?
Sounds busy!
Having foster kids must be hard....caring for them and then letting them go.
I work with animals. The fostering makes me relate a bit. I've built bonds with a lot of feral cats (trust and stuff) that then gets 'taken away' from me and I pine a bit...I can't imagine how it must be with little humans.
I'm not equating feral cats to foster children, I just empathize with caring for and letting go of...hopefully for the better5 -
We had 13 kids in 3 years ( set of 3 siblings for 9 months, (I had 2 siblings for a month) m then I had another set of 3 and then 2 siblings (so I had 5 at once) then after 9 months the 3 left
And I got Jaydon and Jordon (my boys i adopter & then 1 more. So I had 5 kids together for about a year. The single boy ended up going to a group home and I gave the 2 up to a friend who was fostering since
We were
Giving our license up.
It was very hard. I miss them still
We had the boys since they were 1&4 now they r 6&8.

1.Where you from? Ufff. Every time I hear this question i wonder what to say. I was born and lived and worked in 5 different countries. I spent about 15 years in the US in 3 different states: East, West, Midwest. Never lived more than 6-7 years at one place.
2. What’s your job? Scientist. Nuclear stuff.
3. Married, single? Another ufff. Married for 25 years, but my husband is the same as me - crazy scientist constantly moving. We often live in different cities, sometimes in different countries... We rarely see each other, but love each other, talk every day - now it's easy. But with all this life he is more a really good friend to me, than a husband. Anyway, it's so complicated...
4. Children? They are grown up. They were always with me, not my husband, and it was not easy to raise kids in our situation.
5. Fun fact? I think i had everything: lived on food stamps and clothes from charities for a while and sometimes had literally nothing to eat, once even passed out in a store being too hungry and smelling all the food around. Always pushed myself and then life got better. And then much better. Now, I make more than I need, know too much science, have too many citizenships, and speak too many languages2 -
