Yes we have adopted children

I am often asked by people I meet if Josiah is adopted or if I have been married before Clint or if all my kids are mine naturally.. I know  Its only because Josiah  looks different than we do.  Twice in the last week Josiah has said to me "Momma I was in your tummy right ?" I tell him no you didn't grow in my tummy, you were Adopted.  He doesn't understand what adoption means. He just knows he was adopted and that Courtney was adopted to. Its so hard to explain Adoption to a 5 yr old. If you are reading this blog and don't know the whole story I will tell you how I got my children.
Hannah was my first born.  She was born in  April 2000.  Grayson was still born at 6 1/2  months in utero  in Oct. Of 2003 due to a car accident I was in. A year later I miscarried " Peanut "at 6 weeks pregnancy. 
6 months  after miscarrying  Clint an I became Foster Adopt Parents.   Josiah was our second foster baby and he came to live with us at age 3 months after being with a different foster mom from age 3 days old. When he was 16 months old his adoption was final.  Courtney ( my first cousin by birth) came to live with us at age
 9 1/2.  A year later her adoption was final. Children are a Blessing from God No matter How you "got them".
