I'm married and have 2 children and 1 new grandson born April 19th 2005. I am a foster mother who takes in children between the ages of 7 and 14. My 12 yr. old son was a foster child that we adopted. We have 6 cats and a black lab/golden retriever mix dog. In my spare time (rare) I like to crochet and read and look for ethnic recipes on Recipezaar for the foster kids.
