I strive to be a good help meet to Steve and good mother to my 18 children. We have been blessed with children both by birth and adoption. Our adopted children have all come with some challenges and as such our life is not easy but God never promised it would be. We hope to be sanctified daily. We are passionate about education that gives people of all ages a love of learning. We are also passionate about good food, food the way God intended it to be eaten and as such are working at establishing our sustainable farm to provide for ourselves and our community.

A sad side of older child adoption

One of our adult daughters has decided our usefulness to her is done and so she will be moving back with her biological parents next week (the same biological parents who threw her out less than three months ago when she called us tearfully asking to please send her a next day airline ticket which we did).  Because she does not want to have to work for her needs and wants but rather wants a hand out she plans to now live her life in a brawling, immoral household, not caring who she harms or hurts in the process.  As older child adoptive parents we must realize that we help children because it is what God has asked us to do, not because we are expecting love or gratitude in return because in most cases this will not happen.  We are serving others out of our love and servitude to God...

  1. I am so sorry to hear this. All you can do now is pray that she sees the light, heard from God and decides to change her ways. I will be praying.


    God's Blessings,
