I haven't formally introduced Ivanna to you! Ivanna is Adrian's cousin on his dad's side of the family. She is nine but I met her when she was 2. Even though Adrian's dad and I are no longer together, it does not stop me from having a fabulous relationship with his family. Ivanna is being raised by her grandparents so we see her often due to Adrian visiting his grandparents about twice a week. We live about 5 minutes from each other. I have watched Ivanna grow into an amazing girl and she is my niece through and through.
Then come my step-kids, Amberly and Gian. (You can read more about them in my About me page.) I have been warned by many to not get too attached to step-kids but I am taking my chances with these two. I have been a part of their lives for about three years now. We have been through alot together and even though I did not give birth to them, I consider them my kids.
We might not all be blood-related, but we are family! We are a family of 6! Sure, people might think I am crazy, but I am having a wonderful time with all these kids. I am enjoying spending time with them and watching them grow. I am extremely grateful to be a part of their lives!
