well to start i am a 42 year old male.'
I am married with to adopted kids that we love and cherrish them very much.
my wife and kids live in another state,but there is no work in that area.
so therefore i live in tx. to support my family.
i do go just about every weekend to visit with them, but it is very hard to leave them when i have to go back to tx. and they get to live in the mountians.
my wife and i have been married for more than 14 years and we love and miss each other very much but we do what is best for our kids.
i enjoy the outdoors such as hunting, hicking, camping, and just being outside.
i came here from the north about 27 years ago, when i meet my wife it was love at first site.
we meet in september, proposed to her in december of the same year.
then we married the next year on april fools day, wow what a blast that was.
and we have been married every since.
we decided a short time after we married that we want to foster, and adopt kids rather than to have our own.
the way we looked at this was, there are so many kids out there that now one wants or cares for.
so looking at it from this view we want to open our home up to them.
we fosterd kids for several years, them we adopted our first child.
and a very special child he was and is even now.
texas started an adoption day and my child was the second adoption that the had on this national adoption day, huge wrightup in all the local papers.
and then a few years later came the other.
i come from a very large family that knows no strangers, so my kids fit right in with the rest of the family.
now something that we have done with our kids that alot of people think is wrong or may crazy for doing, is that we have done open adoptions with our kids.
basicly we let our kids know right up front that they are adopted and that they are very special kids,we also allow them to see and know thier biological family.
of course everyone thought we were crazy for doing this but it has worked out very well for all of us.
