I wanted 5 or 6; she only wanted 2 but we had identical twins, so we ended up with 3. We had one that was not really ours, but we had him off and on from the time he was an infant. We loved him every bit as much as we loved the other 3. We would have him, then his mother wanted him, then we would have him again, and after that his mother would want him again. It was difficult having him go between our home and his own. He love his mother dearly, and she loved him, but she couldn't alway keep him at all times because of other things in her life. He is almost 21 years old now, and that is hard to believe. We still love him very much, but we don't see him very often.
That is a tough situation when you have a sibling who is not really your own and is coming in and out in you because he or she is going out also to be with his real family.
Yes, it was hard, but we loved him as much as we could, and saw him as much as often as we could. We had to be gone living miles away for 10 years, so we had a hard time being with him enough. He wanted us to move back too, but we couldn't very well do that until it was time to move back. Then he was grown and it has been difficult to find him often times. We pray for him all the time, that the Lord will Protect him, and that He will draw him to Himself, and help Kenny to give his heart to the Lord, and is family as well.
