Just thought I would share this with my newfound family here on TBN.
I'm about to turn 50, and my wife is 46. We decided to go into foster care, and today we spent the day with a couple of wonderful kids that social services wants us to take in. They were a joy! A 9 year old girl, and her 10 year old brother. They are really nice kids, like each other, treat each other well, and were so immensely grateful for anything we did for them. Just letting them use the paint program on our computers thrilled them for hours.
My wife, Viviane, and I are both thrilled. These kids will probably be up for adoption before long, and we will get first dibs on them if all goes well and the kids want this also. Seems that I'm a daddy! /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif
While they are still in foster care status, they are not allowed to operate any type of motor vehicle, but after adoption... those rules are of course dropped. At that point, if it happens, I will probably need some advice on the best way to ease a kid into use of a tractor. John's safety threads here will of course be the first place to start, and I recall one or more about just this subject. It's too early to think about this now, but I'll certainly be boning up on the subject.
Just wanted to share our excitement with you good folks. These are nice kids, and it will be great if we are able to give them the break they need.
