Hello~ We are the Jett family of Alabama! Dad, Stan and mom, Amy (me) have been married for 29 years and have 8 great children. Katie is 28 and lives in VA. Matthew is 26 and is serving with the army in Iraq. Daniel is 21 and married to Jenna. Benjamin is 18 and is betrothed to Erin. Elizabeth is 17, Jacob is 11, Lyida is 10 and Isaac is 8. Our oldest 4 children are birth and our youngest 4 are adopted. We have just begun our 22nd year of home schooling. We live on a small farm here in Alabama and raise a huge garden each year, we have a milk cow, chickens, turkeys, and assorted dogs and cats! My daughters and I dress modestly and my husband is considering the veiling. I enjoy sewing for my family, knitting and spinning. My husband is an MD and enjoys working on our farm with all of us. We are striving for a simple, God-centered lifestyle. We attend a small Baptist church where noone covers!
Blessings~

Welcome!!!!!!!! So glad to have you here. What a wonderful family it sounds like you have. We have considered adopting or becoming foster parents, but haven't really pursued it at this point. What a wonderful blessing to have been able to adopt 4 children. Come in take your shoes off and make yourself at home, we are glad you found us and have come to fellowship here.

Amy and family,
Welcome to the fellowship. We are glad to have you join. I am Kim and my husband is Mark. We have 3 sons...ages 13 years, 11 years, and 8 years. We are expecting our 4th child at the end of March. We are also a homeschooling family. We are looking for a church home right now. I don't know if you've looked at the camp meeting section...but we would love for you and your family to join us at the camp meeting in TN.
I noticed you live in Alabama...we also live in Alabama. What part of Alabama do you live? We live in Auburn, AL.
Welcome again to the board. I will look forward to hearing from you and getting to know you. I have enjoyed the fellowship here on the board and have learned a lot. I hope you enjoy it here.
Love In Christ, Kim
