Short Personal Description:
I have one biological son, Ethan who was born Jan 4, 2000. I was a single mom until I met my husband Eric in March 2007. We were together from minute one and married April 8, 2008. He has 3 children from a previous marriage (Girl 12, Boy 10, Boy 8), the 12 year old girl, Beryl, lives with us. I adore her. His other two kids live with their mother and we have them every-other weekend.
We thought his kids would live with us, so I agreed for him to have a vesectomy, as 4 kids were an out-there idea for me. We ended up with only our two.
