THREE SIBLINGS WITH NEUROLOGICAL CONDITIONS AGES 11 MONTHS / 3 YEARS/ 5 YEARS PLACED IN MY HOME TEMPORARY. NO FAMILY MEMBERS WERE WILLING TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY TO RETRIEVED THE CHILDREN. WITH SOUL SEARCHING AND TIME, I ACCEPTED AND EMBRACED THE FACT THAT I MAY BE THE ONLY WILLING PERSON TO PARENT THE SIBLINGS. THIS WAS AN EXTREMELY CHALLENGING TASK FEATURING LOTS OF INTERVENTIONS, SPEECH DELAYS, BEHAVIORAL DISORDERS, DETOX ISSUES, AND WEEKLY THERAPY SESSIONS. THE FOSTER SIBLINGS ARE CURRENTLY MY ADOPTIVE CHILDREN, WITH THEIR OWN CHILDREN NOW. THIS CARING EXPERIENCE COMPELLED ME TO RESEARCH A NEW WAY TO FULFILL MY CHILD CARE ASPIRATIONS. I USE MY BUSINESS EXPERIENCE TO START MY OWN IN H DAY CARE. OBSERVING YOUNG CHILDREN AND SEEING THEM LEARN, STRIVE, EMBRACE THE MOST HUMBLING BEGINNING MILESTONES OF LIFE BECAME THE NEW FIRE I ASPIRE TO LIVE FOR.
