Adding to an already BIG Blended Family!!

MEL! I didn't realise you were still here! I didn't know you'd added to your bunch with Felix! Congratulations!

We definitely have the room. The funanci stability (even with me on maternity leave). The patience? Well that is yet to be determined! HAHAHAHA!

DH and I have 6 children. He brought three from a previous relationship (they have no contact with their biological mother - DH has sole parental custody), I brought two from previous marriage (who see their biological father every second weekend), and we had a baby together who is now 12 months.
DH works full time and I'm doing a PhD. It's busy. It's fun (mostly). We have done a good job of blending the families and all the kids have benefited in their own ways. It's so rewarding to build new parent-child relationships and watch them flourish. Its not always easy though. I would love to chat more about issues to large and blended families - seems pretty quiet in here though!! I'm guessing there's not too many of us?!
