Eight Was Not Enough

by Jeannie Satre

At first glance Jeannie Satre's life looks like any other married, children, home in the suburbs, a mini-van and occasional trips to the family cabin near Yosemite. But she and her family are anything but typical! Jeannie and her husband Neal have dedicated their lives to raising special children from around the world. Twin boys born to them were followed by girls from Korea, children from Mother Teresa's orphanage in India and then a girl from their home town! Various traumas ranging from a snake in the laundry room, to the children's hospitalizations, and then to facing her own adoption issues and serious breast cancer risk have kept Jeannie's life challenging and eventful. Through it all she and her whole family have learned life lessons of love, perseverance and joy. Jeannie declares, "What started out as a humanistic act became God's plan for our lives! And we found out that limits couldn't be set by our license plate 8S INUF!"

I was very impressed of their faith and all the challenges the family accomplished. All of them deserve the very best life has to offer them. I'm sending big hugs to all of them.
