		<description>It was tough getting my two youngest to connect.  Today they are 17 and 19.  The youngest came home at 13, and it was as though there was a wall between them. Finally after three years, they were connected, today they are very close, it is neat to watch.  Socially they are together a great deal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We may add one more child.  I do let the boys give thier judgement on the kids that I find on the internet.  I showed the older one a really neat 10 year old, my son&#039;s reaction was, &quot;Well, you can&#039;t adopt him.&quot;  He went on, &quot;Look at his hair, he&#039;s a redhead, we are all blond and blue eyed, Dah.&quot;   That really wasn&#039;t my decision making model.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I showed him another boy about a month later, and he said &quot;He&#039;s one of us, He looks just like Steven, He&#039;s OK.&quot;  This one had brown hair. Kids have their own ways of seeing ties and commonality, and I don&#039;t think it is about logic.  John</description>
