Hello! We are surviving through Covid. Strange as it may seem, none of us have had Covid yet. This new variation has hit a lot of folks around us. A lot of classes are out for quarantine at my school.
Looks like my school has found a new SPED teacher for next year so I will be able to pursue other interests. We haven’t been able to do much with our design company. However, one outfit made it into a Charlotte magazine! I thought it was cool.
Anthony has been in two magazines and Larissa several more. They are loving doing fashion shows a photo shoots. If you want to see Larissa’s page her Instagram is Larissamelville.
Michelle is doing great. She is a junior this year. She recently took the ASVAB military test and scored high enough to join. She is interested in joining the Navy. She has moved up the ranks in the ROTC program and has flourished in it. She has matured greatly!
The other day she sat next to me and started talking about these anti adoption groups. She remembers her life before she came into care. She has looked up her dad through his jail time. She has looked for her mom but she is more elusive. She has told me that she has no interest in meeting with them. She says that without adoption she wouldn’t be looking to graduate. She sees kids in school who are living in the life style she came from, they drink, do drugs and are just generally lost. She says that would have been her fate. Funny, we were always concerned that since so many of our kids came into care because of drugs that we would have kids struggling with the same issue. That has not been the case at all. They are very intent in staying away from them.
The teenager who doesn’t cooperate for pictures!
I know that there are huge gaps! If anyone has any questions feel free to ask. Have a good night and stay healthy.
