| Introduction | I am Anna Giattina Lee, mother of 20 children that are legally ours - ranging in age from newborn to 30. We have fostered another 30+ children. Three are ours by birth, the others are ours by choice. My husband and I are called to foster and adopt older children and sibling groups and this presents many unique opportunities in our mega-family. We are Christians trying to live out our beliefs in a fallen world - but not in a preachy, in-your-face kind of way. We have faced all kinds of issues and have a broad range of experiences - including the death of our 18-year-old daughter who was killed in a car accident last year. We have sweet young ones and some not-so-sweet teens! We have high school dropouts and college honors students. Abused kids and kids who have chosen to become counselors and missionaries because of the experiences. We have a little of everything and all are loved. I could say more, but I don't have any more characters! The story of my life! |

You've successfully slain the dragon! How will you toast your marshmallows?
I am forced to multi-task; therefore, I would have let the dragon roast the marshmallow while I was slaying him.
