HOW MANY DO YOU HAVE?

Being a large family we always get this question. Also, we are a trans-racial family so that causes more people to ask questions, especially if all 8 of us are together. It is not as easy to answer as it sound. I a mom to six children, Brianna, Trina, Nicole, Cortez, Alyssa and Jorie, all of whom were adopted out of the Kansas foster care system. I also am a stepmother to my husband's daughter, Ashley. I also am a mother to my sweet little angel baby, Spencer Lee Davis, who was born at 28 weeks gestation and died the very next day.

So while most can answer this question easily, I can not. Quite honestly it can be very frustrating and I sometimes feel guilty if I don't include everyone. It is so much easier to say "six".

I will begin to introduce my children in the next few posts.
