"Better full than Empty!" I LOVE IT! Can I use it?

You have 2 that are 7 and one is the one you mentioned legal guardianship for. I wonder do you foster or adopt? That is so cool! I fostered 1 time but made a mistake of getting a teen with emotional issues first time out when DH and I only had toddlers. We weren't ready for that. DH decided then and there never again. I haven't been able to convince him otherwise unfortunately.

Renee,
Sure you can use it!!!
One of my 7 year olds are adopted, he is from Korea. The Legal guardianship ds is almost 4. It is kind of a long story, but he used to be a foster child. We quite doing foster care when our 2 yr. old was born, he had some pretty bad health problems, and we just couldn't do it all. So now that we have 7 boys in the house, I really don't think we can fit any more!!! So the run down on the boys ages are: 11, 10, 7, 7, 3, 3, & 2. Yep, certifiable.

Hi everyone!
I'm Christine from NE Ohio. Been married to Mike for 6 years and we have Nicholas who turned 5 in June. He was dx'd ADHD first in March along with social anxiety and some OCD tendencies. We figured something else was up and when dh showed me an article about Asperger's, we were like, that sounds like Nick! That dx came in June, 5 days after his 5th birthday. He is smart as a whip, he is into Monster Trucks, Nascar and hot wheels and thats about it! But he can give you the stats on Monster Jam like no one else I know!! The boy knows his sh*t! hehe... He is very intelligent, but he can meltdown and tear my house apart and is on clonidine to keep the peace for all our sakes. He started kindy this year and so far is doing ok in a mainstream class, if anything we are finding he may be bored, but more to come on that! He is awesome on the computer, he loves to play games, can be so sweet, loves to read and we have been hitting every county fair within an hours drive so he can ride the rides! It aint easy, our lives are upside, topsy turvy, but he is my sunshine and makes me get out of bed every day. I dont know what I would do without him. There are days that I feel like I want to run away from it all, but then I would be so lost without him. So that's me!
