The best things we can do for our children is to honour their 
decisions..  The video warmed my heart.

At the time they were 17 months and 3 years old. It was three weeks before my oldest granddaughter's wedding. She wasn't happy about that, and I thought they'd lost their minds. I also knew this was entirely my son's idea. Their youngest child also came to them through foster care, and they adopted him about four years ago.

The other kids all seem happy with this--as you can see in the video--so it may all work out for the best, but the boys have serious emotional issues and had been in one foster home before.
