The Pringle's

from our family to yours

Life's highs and lows in our adoptive family

You can get snapshots of day to day life in our family. This blog is intended to educate, inspire and display the wonders of raising children; cross racial, multi-capable in what many see as a large non traditional family.

I would like to put on the table myths that are assumed by the uninformed to spread a greater sense of social welfare for all children in need of a forever family.
God bless,
Mary
