Too many personal women things to talk about in public. Let's just say we found a solution and my husband now sings soprano.

I can say that I have never been tolerate of medication of any kind, even aspirin. It I take one aspirin I will have to lay down and go to sleep.

We didn't "HAVE" children. Our boys are adopted.

Sometimes I think people might put more thought into their reasons for having a family when they adopt then most folks do when they give birth. Not always - but often I know we did! We thought about it, talked about it, prayed about it and then prayed about it some more!

In the end, we just decided that that we had enough love to give that we wanted to share that with children that would become our own. God blessed us so much when He placed each of our sons in our home. They are both a perfect fit. And they are definately the greatest gift we've ever received!!

Amen! This was definately true for me. I don't exactly know why I wanted a child, but I'm glad God blessed us with one.
