To the best of my knowledge, neither. They just like having babies and raising them. There's some personal stuff that was briefly explained to me, but I didn't quite get it well enough to have a prayer of relating it properly. But hey, if that's what they want to do, great for them. And after the first few, it's not so bad -- the older ones are old enough to help around the house more and play with younger siblings. (And in this particular family, on a regular basis, the older children cook a very nice meal for their parents and then keep the younger ones out of their hair so they can enjoy a nice romantic dinner for 2 at home. Which I think is really nice of the kids, to do that for them.) Julia _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
