Hi, are you a parent?
1_Wizard
I am not a parent. Well, not yet at least. What about you?
0_Apprentice
Yes, believe it or not I have 12 kids!
1_Wizard
Are you a single parent? If so, do you mind me asking why that is the family structure?
0_Apprentice
No, not a single parent!  I had 3 kids with my first husband, who died. And then I married a widower who had 6 kids. And we adopted 3 special needs kids.

That's a very large family. What about the rest of the extended family? Are there any grandparents, aunts, uncles in the picture?
0_Apprentice
Yes, grandparents on both sides who are very involved, and aunts and uncles as well, although not all of them are local. It's a bit crazy at times but a lot of fun.

That's super nice. I feel like that is super beneficial for the children to have so many family members to talk to and provide support for them. Are the children close with everyone?
