Being HIV positive I near thought I would have any children at all. We adopted another son when he was 17. I can’t believe I
couldn’t mention before but I believe it was because of legalities. But he is ours. He just turned 18 and wants to learn how to
drive. He had made friends with our
other son when they went to high school together. Well his name is Tavis and he found his way
to our house one day with bags in hand.
We took to him immediately and welcomed him with open arms into our
family. He is gay just like our first
son. Speaking of our first son he has
flown the coup and is now making a way for himself in the real world. It felt like just yesterday I was getting
calls every day from his high school, BUT we nipped that in the bud fairly
quickly. He matured has a boyfriend and
is making his way in the world. All I
can do is hope he becomes a good man, which I’m positive he will. BUT I will say this no two is enough. My husband and I have decided that we are
getting our tubes tides and that’s that.
LOL Anyways we are a happy family and things are going well. LOVE YOU GUYS and COMMENT DOWN BELOW.
