Thanks for sharing your and your wife's story. I am a mother of 3. It is a blessing and a privilege, but it can be so hard sometimes. That's why I am so grateful to my husband because he also takes care of the kids. My utmost respect goes to all the single parents who have to wear several hats.

It is very sad that parents are placed in home here in the U.S. I also understand that maybe that's what some of these parents want because they want privacy. But the kids can at least visit and call often...
