This co-worker is one of 17 children. These people live in an average house without TV. I admire anyone who has taken the time to raise their children in the old-fashioned way where the children entertain themselves and each other. This really touched my husband. Not only did these people still have the majority of their family at home but they had taken on two foster children (收养的孩子). Over the two days my husband felt worried about these two little girls. When my husband returned home, he said, “Andrea, I have something I need to talk to you about.” He told me about these little girls and how he really wanted to adopt them. At that time I had a 4-year-old, a 2-year-old and a 1-year-old child. I understood what he wanted to do but I had to take our children into consideration.
