Many times at night I cannot sleep thinking about Felipe and what could happen to him if JB and I passed away suddenly, I am terrified of that feeling but I do not like to live in fear but I do KNOW, I do feel that having a large family will have a tremendous impact on him and help him in so many ways.

1. He will have many brothers and sisters to count with who will look after him.

2. Because he has a lot of social limitations, his brothers and sisters will also become his friends who are there to play with him and entertain.

3. As the family expands, he will see that each child has different needs which will help him to develop patience as he won't be the only one to be demanding things.

I do know that no matter the circumstances, large families are a challenge but a blessing as well and I think this will be a blessing in our lives because we do not have relatives of any kind but only us so I think expanding our family is very important. I would be quite happy with 7 kids, I think is the perfect number. I hope the Lord blesses us so we can reach this goal and he can provide all the things that are needed.
