We live in Independence, Oregon. We are within walking distance to a grade school, the middle and high schools. There is a small park very close to our home as well. We live in a quiet neighborhood. Every summer we attend live music in two of the large parks and movie nights outdoors.
We have a great deal of experience caring for children. We have 3 grown children and 15 grandchildren (12 biological plus 3 bonus). Plus, the three children we have living at home. We have also taken several courses and read books that apply to parenting an adopted child. Our youngest son has special needs as do our twin grandsons. We have networked to have contact information of recommended specialists, doctors, schools in our area.
