More yearbook pictures

Jessica, 3rd grade, 1993

Jamie, 2nd grade, 1993

Drew, 2nd grade, 1993

Jack, 4th grade, 1993

I think I've said before that I had three foster children that I wish I could have adopted. Ryan (Johnny) is one of them and Jessica and Jamie are the other two. I am now in touch with Jessica, via Facebook. She and Jamie are doing well and Jamie has two beautiful baby boys! This was scanned from Jack's yearbook, but I remember that Jessica had circled several people with a pencil. She circled Jack, Drew, herself and the boy she had a crush on, it was so cute! I'm not sure why she didn't circle Jamie, she must have been mad at her! I love the glasses in these early '90's photos.

Heard from a former foster son

One of my all time favorite foster sons called me today. He was Johnny when we got him at age 3 months. He was tiny thing, only 8 pounds and he had three broken bones. We had him until he was a year and a half old, when he and his bio sister were adopted by a wonderful couple. His name is now Ryan (his choice) and he is 19 years old. He just graduated and is soon to be starting college majoring in Homeland Security. I am so proud of him, he had a ton of obstacles to overcome and he has done a great job. It was so good to hear from him!
