Today the average family in American as 2.3 or so children, last I heard. Our family throws the curve way off with ten children at home full time, and 12 part time. (My husband’s daughter is with us almost half time and my biological daughter who is almost fourteen, visits six weeks a year). In our family, ethnicity is a rainbow, with children of African American heritage, Asian American heritage, Mayan/Hispanic heritage and African American mixed with Native American heritage, and finally, Native American mixed with Dutch and Romany Gypsy. I, the Mama in this family, am Native American myself. My husband Kelly, is of English heritage and his ancestors can be traced back many generations to the first settlers in America and back even more in England.
