Another "Mega" Family
I just found this blog this morning-- a self-proclaimed "mega family"of 17 children. Read what the Mom posted on Kim's blog in response to her post on large families:
"I am the very happy Mama of 17 children, ages 18-9 months. One of the big differences between our family and a daycare is that the people running the daycare really would not care about my children at all-it is a job for them (I know because I worked in one when I was younger). They may be nice to them and take care of their physical needs but they wouldnt love my children. The second comment I would make is that my children love being in a huge family - they constantly pray for more siblings, either through adoption or birth... part of the reason they value siblings so highly is because we value children so highly..."

Just piping in to say, Yes, it's great to hear from "mega-families." We meet so few in real life!
What's really fun about this particular family is they have some adopted children!
My sister worked in a daycare. That mother is right, it's no where near as caring as parents.
I love the concept of large families :) I know many large families, and they are fun to be with:)
I haven't been around here too much lately, but this was along the lines of what I was going to say about the difference between a large family and a daycare. Nobody else can love and care for a child like his own mother!
