Hi, welcome to my blog. I am Elizabeth, but my new family calls me Beth for short. I am 9 years old. I have recentlly been adopted by a new family. I was in an orphanage for a short time. I can't remember much about my life from before my new mom found me. Mom said the mind will block out things that are painful to remember, I guess it would make me too sad to talk about how my original Mom just tossed me to Goodwill.

In the process of being adopted, I gained some brothers and a sister. Ryan is 9 like me but he's a bit taller, since he is human. Avery and Andy are 6. Avery is a human like Ryan, they are biological brothers. Andy is my size, exactly. He is 18 inches tall as well. I have a sister named Katie and she is 18 inches tall. I like having so many kids around. 

 There are 3 other kids in the house right now. There is Kendall, but he is still getting operated on so he is not able to play. Mom is making him better again, since he was also a Goodwill kid, and he is going to be Ryan's best buddy, kind of like Andy is Avery's best buddy. (although I think that Avery will play with Kendall more...) Kendall has a twin, Bane. Bane is also getting some tlc from Mom then he is going to go live with Bella, Ryan's friend and Kanani. Bane is a Hawaiian name and it means long awaited child. Samantha is also getting some tlc and then she will be finding a new home for herself. I think we will always have some foster kids around. Unfortunatly they are never in any shape to play, and if they are then they are too excited to be going to their new home to bother with us.

Katie keeps to herself alot. She is very quiet and likes to read and be alone up in her room on top of Mom's dresser. I like her but she dosen't like to play much. She is 12 and very serious.

Ryan always has tons of homework. That is why I am glad that I am homeschooled. I get my work done when we do school. Andy and Katie gets homeschooled with me and as soon as Kendall is well he will get home schooled also.

I spend time playing with Andy and Avery and I help mom with her Etsy and Emily Rose businesses.

I like to hang out with Mom too. I know she loves me and Katie, Andy and Kendall, her adopted kids. She talkes to us and treats us nice. Daddy works alot and he never really talks to us. Grandpa will stop to talk to us on occassion too.

I do have some scars from my time at Goodwill. I have very very thin hair and it falls out alot. Mom said that at some point she will have to send me away to the hospital. I am scared of that though. I don't want to leave Mom. What if I don't get back. Mom said the other option is that I will need to get a wig and that she can fix that herself. I don't know what will happen, I just have to wait and see.

I will be having some minor surgery on my hips pretty soon. Mom is going to operate now that the part she needed came in. She operated on me once before and the part was defective so here's hoping that my legs will be very strong after my surgery. The good part is once she is done I won't need any recovery time, just some hugs. I know Avery will be the first to hug me. Andy had the same failure and Avery was hugging him as soon as he was out of surgery. Now Andy is running around here, dressed as a Jedi Knight with his lightsaber...causing quite a ruckus. Well at least that is a happy noise.

Tomorrow I will upload my photo of Andy and me from Halloween. Since I already told  you that he was a jedi, you will have to wait until then to see what I was.

Happy Halloween.

Love, Beth
