Of course, I'm just as concerned about the safety of my children as everyone else. To that end, I don't post pics of my kids on this blog and I don't use their real names. Since it's a very confusing scenario, I've also given them alternate names. This protects the kids, feelings, and provides a little discretion.
To help with the flow, you should probably know the kids:
Abigail - oldest (being raised as the only child in her other household) and resides full-time out of state with her dad: we get very limited visitation
Bethany - second oldest (being raised as oldest child in her other household) and resides during the school year with her mom: we get standard out-of-state visitation
Connor - middle (being raised as oldest child in his full-time household) and resides full-time with my husband and myself: he's had a step-parent adoption with my husband
Danielle - second youngest (being raised as youngest child in other household) and resides during the school year with her mom: we get standard out-of-state visitation
Eliza - youngest (being raised as youngest child in her full-time household) and resides full-time with my husband and myself: only child of our marriage
So now you wanna know.....who lives where?
Connor and Eliza live with my husband and myself full-time. There aren't any exes involved, so they are truly full-time kids with us for the full 365 days of the year.
Bethany and Danielle are sisters from their dad's previous marriage, so they are full-time with each other. They live primarily with their mom, who is out-of-state, and we get them for the typical school holidays, long weekends, and summers.
Abigail lives the furthest away with her father. Visitation with her is sporadic at best, although there is phone contact on regular basis.
