Religion: All different.
Others living with you? My 6 year old neice Kennedy and her sister Cheyanne (14) [their mom is in rehab and their dad died]
Other info? Family hobbies: basketball, musical instruments, anything outside, ice skating, singing, art [drawing, painting, sculpting, and even coloring], world traveling, and much more.
House: It's located in the country on 27 acres. It has 19 large bedrooms and 9 bathrooms. Mason and I are going to build a large guest house on some of the land for our adopted kids who've had children [there's quite a few!]. After that, we'll have a lot more space in our house.
Anything we should know about your children/family: We speak Bangla, Italian, Hungarian, Greek, ASL, French, Latvian, Spanish, Arabic, and Hebrew [I don't think I left any out...All these in addition to English]. Many of our children have disabilities. Mason and I have hired 6 full time nurses that live with us and any child that needs counseling will be provided with a therapist. With such a large family you can just imagine how many quirks are lurking around! None of the children currently have any allergies.
