Mikey Mikey

Mikey came to live with us as a foster child
when he was 9 months old.
I had explained to our other 5 children that he was only with us until a "nice family could adopt him". We all fell in love with the little rascal immediatley. Within a few days my husband and I decided we were going to adopt him ourselves.

Once the decision to adopt Mikey was made, I figured I had better break the news to his new 17 year old brother Charles. After all, he was the one who was going to get stuck sharing his room with the little squirt. So one evening I took Charles out to dinner to try and soften the blow. He was not surprised at our decison but had one request. He told me "You have to change his name, he doesn't look like an Andrew!", which is the name his natural parents had given him. I asked him if he had any suggestions. Charles said "Yep, Mikey." I had to laugh, unbeknownst to Charles, the night before his father and I had decided the same thing and had picked out the name Mikey! Some things are just meant to be.

Mikey is a wirey little guy full of excess energy.
He loves sports and any sport will do, thank you. If he isn't on his roller blades or riding his bicycle, he's playing soccer or baseball or football or basketball or swimming in the pool or practicing karate....like I said, any sport will do thank you.
