Mike is a professional musican and
a band director in a small country
school in Adams County. He just
recently moved from an urban high school
in Ft. Wayne after 26 years. We met
when we taught together in a new fine
arts magnet school. It was a wonderful
teaching experience! But after we married
and had Brittany and Alex, I just wanted
to be home with them.
Later, we heard about an 8yr.
old that was being separated
from his siblings and adopted
alone. After 3 weeks of wrestling
with the ethics of this, we called
and asked to be considered as
his new adoptive family. That was
10 yrs. ago.
Chris left for the army five
weeks ago, Alex is a student
at Taylor UniversityFW, Brittany
left IU Bloomington three semesters
ago for health reasons. She will be
returning to school in June.
The dogs were something that
my vet suggested to me. It was a
new idea and one that I knew I
would really enjoy. I started
with Yorkies and Newfoundlands,
but the cockapoos found me. It has
been an interesting journey. I have met
lots of great dog lovers from lots of
different places.
