Has anyone here ever adopted a child?
Our babysitter that lives a few doors down the block has been in the foster care system most of her lifespan. She told my wife that we are the only adults that she trusts besides one of her teachers at school. She wants us to adopt her. She straight up begged my wife to legally adopt her so that she does not get put into another foster care home of strangers. We are financially secure and can easily afford to adopt her.
She is 15 years old, has her student driver's license and I've been teaching her defensive driving because she babysits our 2 year old daughter and sometimes she also babysits my grandchild and my niece. So I most definately want her to understand the physics involved and learn how to skillfully perform defensive driving manuvers and techniques like they are just second nature to her.
My wife doesn't know this yet because she is only 25 years old, she's younger than 5 of my kids. She has no clue yet that one of the most stressful periods of a parent's life is when their children learn how to drive a car and get their first drivers' license.
Think about it, what percentage of teenagers that you know have never got involved in an automobile accident?
Most likely, practically zero percent. I also haven't told her that she's pregnant again. I gave her a slight hint yesterday when I made lasagna and served her a glass of non-alcohol grape juice.
I can tell when a girl is pregnant because they get a sort of glowing pink tint to their skin that I can notice. And when they look at you, you can feel something like an infrared warmth eminating from their face. Almost like an aura. Just something special about them or whatever..
Has anyone here ever adopted a child? If so, how did it work out?
Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
