A Start of a New School Year

It is time to start school again and Sandra has asked to come and live here and finish out her senior year! She planned to come to GCU and liked the idea of being her earlier. Maybe it will help! So, Sandra will be a senior, Angie will be a sophomore, Ingrid in eighth grade, and Juan in seventh grade. All four kids are still at Odyssey. Life is definitely a struggle right now with the kids so we will see how things go with school. The biggest blessing with Sandra here is she will drive them to school everyday! We have read a lot of the adoption books, but the kids are very opposed to any counseling. They need coping strategies and help but for now we continue to just be in survival mode and do the best we can.
