My Story

[HanEli1980]

I've seen some moms post their story so I decided to do the same.
My x and I got married in 2007 and didn't get pregnant. We decided to go into fostering kids in 2009. Had lots of little ones in and out. Over the years we ended up adopting 5 beautiful kids. My son is 13, daughter 10, son 7, and a son and daughter that are 4 (3 weeks apart). My x left in January for a girl 8 years younger. Guess the stress of so many kids got to him, idk. I was hurt of course, but kinda thought it was a phase and he'd be back. I started dating a guy in April and it lasted for a month and a half. Total rebound! After spending the night with him at the end of April, beginning of May I realized he was an alcoholic. He'd wake up and have to pour vodka in with his juice. I refuse to have that in my life so I dumped him....2 weeks before I found out that I was pregnant with his baby. I've told him but he doesn't want anything to do with it. I'm fine with that. I really don't want him to.
My 13 yr old son is in a program for awhile for some mental issues he's been having so it's me and the other 4 munchkins here waiting for our baby to come on January 22nd. It's been a crazy 2014 so far. I'm stressed out ALOT but I'm also very excited about the future!

First I want to say thank you for fostering kids. It takes someone specialoto be able to do it because it's hard. I come from a family of 13 & I grew up in the foster care system. I got adopted at 11. I knew my biological family and parents but because if t their situation I chooseoto be adopted!
