The story about my teens is that we adopted out two granddaughters when they were babies. Both parents were heavily into the drug lifestyle and if we didn't adopt them, they would have been given to strangers. They have changed our lives a lot, they keep us young. We homeschooled them until 8th grade when we witched to an independent studies program where they have classes in science, math and they joined the Academic Decathlon team. This has all worked out well for us and them. They are active in our church, they both teach or help out at our VBS, they have been dancing for 9-10 years. Summer, the oldest, will be graduating in June and Ashlee will graduate a year later.
If it were not for the girls we would just be a couple of old folks, they keep us busy and involved in our community.
